Description

This is a lovely pocket nutmeg grater shaped like a barrel from the early 19th century.
It unscrews in the middle to reveal the grater, which itself unscrews to store nutmegs.
It has good colour and patina, with a tiny crack on one side.
It is a great antique nutmeg grater.

This one measures 7cm in height x 2.5cm in diameter at the top.

Nutmeg graters were a real status symbol. These pocket ones were carried around and used to grate nutmeg into mulled wine or sprinkle it on top of toasted muffins.

Own a piece of history.

It comes in the original conditions as found and sold as seen.
