ABOUT PRODUCTID 11688
This lemon squeezer from the 1950s, made in the United Kingdom from silver-plated brass, exemplifies the integrated, streamlined construction characteristic of mid-century modern design. The shallow, harmoniously shaped bowl features a centrally positioned, distinctly ribbed cone for pressing citrus fruits, surrounded by evenly spaced perforations that separate juice from seeds. A subtle beaded edge along the rim offers a restrained decorative accent, echoing the era’s taste for discreet ornamentation. The overall finish is a cool, silvery matte, with localized patina and gentle wear—most pronounced on the rim and cone—highlighting the object’s history. The seamless fabrication, free of visible joints or welds, attests to the quality of craftsmanship. The squeezer remains in very good condition, retaining its original silver plating, with only minor scratches and a delicate patina consistent with age.This object conjures the atmosphere of post-war Britain, when kitchen rituals gained renewed significance. The cool metallic gleam and measured form evoke a time when functionality was balanced with understated sophistication. The beaded rim seems to whisper stories of family breakfasts, while the gentle patina recalls the repeated gesture of squeezing lemons for homemade lemonade or tea. In this squeezer, one finds a narrative of attention to detail and post-war optimism—an everyday item transformed into something enduring and thoughtfully made.Within an interior, the squeezer could be displayed in a kitchen styled in mid-century modern fashion or in industrial-inspired, pared-back spaces, where its metallic character pairs well with wood, glass, or simple ceramics. It may be combined with other vintage accessories
