[not so very..] Heavy Metal

Thursday Op Shopping was all about metal objects, firstly the Willow Flour sifter I showed yesterday, (which by the way cleaned up nicely), and also these items photographed above.

There is only one 'hand' made of blue wire, with a hook at the end,  and it is for keeping your gloves stretched after you wash them!, I have seen a pair before, in a Laundry Collection, but never found one myself, so here it is, guess I'll just have to wash my gloves One-At-A-Time.
The other 2 enamel items I need help with.... what do you call these things??
They are nice 'older' enamel, rather small,  one with a blue handle, and both with a few chips. I do love them but dont know what they are called.


Today is my Mum's birthday, although she doesn't know it, she has Altzheimers, so I am off now for a visit and taking her flowers & chocolate.  Hope when I come home to have an answer to my question, please...........

  1. I know them as milk pots. But that may not be their correct name. Hope your visit was ok. I have someone close to me suffering from Alzheimers too - it can be so difficult. I might see you in 'North'.

  2. Lyndel, that glove hanger is a treat! What a great find. I love gloves, but they don't seem to work so well in Sydney... congratulations, you've now made me want to pull mine out and try on with some outfits! xo

  4. I think the pots may be for melting butter.

  5. ok ! THANKS for all your comments, so they are tiny milk pots, butter melters, handy basting pots, sounds good to me! Guess they are just handy little pots to melt / warm something in.
    I do love the look of them.
