Kitchenalia

Practically anything involved in cooking or food preparation, from cast iron cauldrons to copper or creamware jelly moulds, can fall into the category of kitchenalia.

As many pieces have now been superseded by modern, power-driven equipment, antique or vintage items such as ribbed wooden butter pats, copper kettles, pierced ladles to skim cream, kitchen scales or flat irons, are also prized for their decorative appeal.

Some examples also cross over into the category of folk art.
