I am pleased to offer a Portmeirion Botanic Garden Sifter or Shaker in the Daisy or Bellis Perennis motif. The sifter shape has been retired for at least several years. The Daisy motif is current and still in production, but quite unusual to see on sifters.

Sifters can be used for flour, cinnamon sugar, shaking water and many other possible uses in your kitchen or bath. Please be sure to look below to see lots more info about Portmeirion shakers.

This piece is in excellent condition with few, if any, signs of wear or use. Please be sure to look below for a full description and photos.

The Daisy was an original 1972 flower on bread and butter plates and still remains in production today. It is based on an image found in the 1835 botany book with illustrations by William Clarke,Moral of Flowers, and written by Mrs. Hey.

All Botanic Garden sifters have a very large yellow butterfly on the back.

This item does not come with a box, but from my files, the side of the box says:

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
