I recently posted a photo of something I owned and asked for help identifying its origins. Hannah helped me right out.
Here’s a new one. I know what it is. I even use it once a year if I am having a good June (hint). But just wondering if other people will nail its use.
It's about 6-7 inches in diameter

I’m thinking that it might have to do with pouring things like berries into jars?
I believe that it is a canning funnel. My Mother used an old tin model…the copper is definitely sexier!
Copper, tin; makes my old green plastic one seem like a poor cousin! And mine doesn’t even have a handle either.
It does the job, though!
And you would be correct, Schmutzie. Lemme see if anyone wants to elaborate before I say more.
Bingo! You have it Anne Marie. It’s really great for pouring hot fruit into the canning jars. I make strawberry jam every three years or so (basically if I am unemployed or otherwise available). I love to pick the strawberries and see the lined up jars of delicious results.
It is really pretty Hannah. I have it hanging on my wall in the kitchen of our Maine camp (where I make jam, usually.) It looks great against the knotty pine panelling (that I painted white a long time ago, just in that room).
