Know before you buy
Yes. This colander is crafted from heavy-gauge steel and exceeds both federal food safety regulations and California's Proposition 65 standards.
While the colander is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and drying it immediately to best preserve the hand-painted finish and the antiqued brass handles.
This small colander has a 1-quart capacity, making it ideal for rinsing berries, herbs, or small portions of vegetables.
The colander features a hand-glazed steel underbody designed for durability. However, because it is hand-painted, gentle care and hand-washing are recommended to maintain the integrity of the pattern over the long term.
The colander measures 6.25 inches in diameter and stands 3.5 inches tall, providing a compact footprint that is easy to store in smaller kitchens.
