Colander 6: The flat colander. This is for rinsing delicate things which would squash if not kept in a single layer (raspberries or flowers for example).
Colander 7: The teeny weeny holes colander for washing teeny weeny things (maybe things like elderberries or seeds). This one feels beautifully balanced in my hand even as green ware – might be a challenge to glaze, to prevent all the teeny weeny holes bunging themselves up during firing 😦

This series is fascinating – I would never have imagined there could be so many different colanders, and each with a special excuse. Er, purpose. 😉
‘Excuse’ will do 🙂 The thing is, I have at one time or another wanted all of these, and made do with a standard colander. I won’t know which to keep, though the original commissioner can take her pick first.
