Vintage Solid Brass Skimmer Strainer 20.75" Pierced Decorative Handle

Add a touch of old-world character to your kitchen with this distinctive solid brass skimmer featuring a broad perforated head and an unusually decorative openwork handle. Its warm golden finish, circular pierced pattern, and sculptural silhouette make it equally appealing as a traditional kitchen utensil or a striking piece of vintage-inspired wall decor. Measuring 20.75 inches long, this substantial brass piece has a shallow, rounded straining head attached to its elongated handle with two rivets. A small opening at the end of the handle offers a convenient way to hang and display it. A triangular stamp with an H above additional characters is present on the reverse, although the maker has not been identified.
