POMONA GRIMWOODS ROYAL GEORGE PEACH SIFTER Or SHAKER
Discontinued Portmeirion Piece - Excellent Condition!
|
I am pleased to offer a Portmeirion Pomona sifter or sugar shaker in the
Grimwoods Royal George Peach motif. The sifter shape has
been retired for many several years. The Grimwoods Peach is still produced but the sifter has been retired.
Sifters can be used for flour, cinnamon sugar, shaking water
and many other possible uses in your kitchen or bath. This item is in super condition!
Unlike Botanic Garden sifters, there is no transfer on the sifter's reverse side.
Some sifters came in boxes. This one does not, but from my files, the side of the box contains
some interesting information about Portmeirion sifters:
AT TABLE
for sprinkling castor sugar on fruit or desserts. For sifting finely grated
parmesan onto soups or pastas. For sprinkling cinnamon onto toast or buns.
IN THE KITCHEN
for spinkling salt into soups & stews to season, or over joints or poultry
before roasting to give a crisp finish. Use for dredging flour when making
bread pastry etc. Can be used to sift flour or corn flour into soups &
stews for thickening. Ideal for sifting icing sugar or confectioners
sugar over cakes, or as a special finish do this through a paper cut-out or
doily to make a delicate pattern, this looks marvelous on a chocolate or
coffee icing.
WHEN IRONING
makes an excellent water sprinkler for extra damping of cuffs collars or frills.
IN THE BATHROOM
a decorative sprinkler for talcum powder
