Purchased at a flea market in Paris. The details are unknown, but I believe it's a sifter for sprinkling powdered sugar or something similar (I apologize if I'm mistaken). It's an old item, so there is some wear and tear. There may be some overlooked imperfections. Please understand this before purchasing. There are no visible hallmarks or markings, but it's a very lovely item (*^^*) ※Please read my profile before purchasing. By purchasing, you agree to the terms outlined there.
