The Green Tripod Colander
A vintage enamel colander in a soft sage green, probably from the 1930s to the 1950s, raised on three splayed legs with two flat side handles, one worn to a darker tone. The bowl is perforated in small daisy-like clusters, with a white rolled rim and a speckled grey enamel inside. There are small chips along the rim and handle edges, rust at the leg joints and a darker patch inside the base.
