A George III enamelled steel (Tole ware) nutmeg grater with two hinged oval lids, circa 1800. Price: £110.00 John Reckless in his Nutmeg Graters, Pomanders and Spice Boxes (2022) states that 'many toleware nutmeg graters were made in Great Britain, nearly all designed for the pocket, from the late 18th century... they were simpler to make and much cheaper than silver graters... [they sometimes] have an added shaped cartouche, almost always blank. However this applied cartouche is often missing... and because they were carried on the person they are rarely found without some damage.' (p. 209-210).
