I am happy to offer a Portmeirion Oranges And Lemons 6.5 inch tall sifter or shaker. Both the Oranges and Lemons patters and the sifter shape has been retired for many years.

The item is in excellent condition with no crazing. There are a few minor tiny factory flaws on the bottom where it sits and a few glazed over factory flaws near three holes. Please be sure to look below to see more photos and description.

Oranges and Lemons was introduced in 1975 and withdrawn in 1983. It was initially designed by Susan Williams-Ellis to decorate one of her homes.

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

Transfer	Great yellow, orange and green colors which are nice and bright with no fading
Ground	Very white
Glaze	The glaze is very shiny overall with no glaze crazing
Chips/Cracks	At about 10 o'clock in the photo above, you can see a small factory pop in the pottery. And at about 4 o'clock there is another factory flaw. They are confined to the unglazed bottom foot where it sits on a surface and is quite common on these sifters. On the top, three of the holes have holes with minor glaze flaws. They are all fully covered with glaze and were caused during manufacture. Quite common on Portmeirion sifters, are mentioned to make a completely accurate description.
Stains	None, except a very little bit of shelf wear on the unglazed bottom ring where it sits. Please see the photo of the bottom above.
Use Marks	None
Other Comments	A very unique and rarely seen Oranges and Lemons sifter!

There are almost never ID marks on Portmeirion sifters as is true on this item.
