A very fine early 19th century coquilla nut nutmeg grater carved with leaves and basket weave.
The
whole is in exceptional condition. No damage to the carved coquilla
nut, including the finial, and (very unusually) the screw-threaded
bovine grater frame is not cracked or chipped and fastens effortlessly.
The
majority of coquilla nutmeg graters from this period have a cracked
bovine grater frame and are often very difficult to unscrew, if at all.
This one is perfect. The pierced metal grater is also in excellent
condition. The nutmeg is included.
Dimensions: 7 cms high.
I am happy to combine postage on multiple purchases.
Please note that I do not end my listings early - many thanks.
