Dish for draining period strawberries Empire model Josephine manufacture Lunéville

Round green ceramic dish with a white garland for pattern all around its outer axis. On top lays a lid with holes. For a long time I wondered about its use. I thought of a flower spike, then a soap holder and finally I got the answer one day from a customer! This is a dish to serve freshly rinsed strawberries so that they drain quietly. The refinement of the napoleonic era, charming! Stamped with the manufacture lunéville model josephine, this object is in good condition.
