Anybody know what this is?

Hello my friends. I found this at a thrift shop recently, only 99 cents and thought I had to have it. I like the dark yellow mustard color and the old crackle finish.


But I can't figure out what it's used for. I believe it's some kind of dipper but I could be wrong.


Any ideas?




It looks nice in my kitchen (smile).

  1. It might be a fat skimmer? just a guess, it is a beautiful color!

  2. I think cottage art has it right, a gravy skimmer, separateness the fat from the gravy.

  3. It is either a fat skimmer or an egg seperator. I would try it both ways to see. I would have bought it too-very interesting.

  4. I agree with the girls Donna...I think it's one of the two suggestions. If the hole is big enough then it could be used for both! Love the color.

  7. Everyone is right-it's a far separator' The grease rises to the top and the good broth can be poured through the spout for use.
