as one would expect

the front brim of his hat

I'd use it for serving a sliced pear and a bit of cheese along with a glass of wine

Definitely mid-century and Italian I believe (the white glazed bottom is common to Bitossi)

W. Procter's Folk Art Ladies Legs Calipers with Very Tiny Feet! humorous antique vessel as one would expectOne more pair of antique ladies legs calipers, these made and stamped by a W. Procter, and which I really love for their radically tapering calves terminating in tiny tiny feet (which, viewed from the other direction, look a bit like tiny horse heads!) 4 13 16" long when closed x 3 8" d. Overall very good condition, with surface wear aging to the steel as evident. These will open all the way out with pressure and hold tight in place.
