Old Dutch 9-Inch Pedestal Colander, Copper
Beautiful enough to hold fruit on the counter or serve as a  centerpiece on a dining room table, this 9-inch copper pedestal  colander is lined with nickel and adorned with traditional brass  handles. While it can be used for draining lettuce, berries, spinach,  or other food, copperware this attractive is often used purely for  decoration so it comes with a protective coating that prevents  tarnishing. If the colander is used for food, the coating must be  stripped off with any common lacquer remover.--Fred Brack
