Vintage German Enamel Grater – Bright Blue (c.1950s, Sourced in Prenzlauer Berg)

A striking piece of utilitarian mid-century design, this bright blue enamel grater dates to the 1950s and was sourced in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin. Likely German-made, it features a curved handle, diamond-punched grating surface, and charming wear throughout that speaks to decades of use. Originally a hardworking kitchen tool—possibly used for cheese, vegetables, or soap—it now makes a vibrant and characterful addition to a rustic kitchen, laundry room, or display of antique enamelware, equally fine for use if desired. 

It can easily be hung from a rail or hook by its handle, the enamel has worn beautifully over time, revealing the metal beneath and creating a rich, textured patina. Whether styled leaning on a shelf, displayed in a vignette, or hung as sculptural kitchen decor, it brings a touch of slow-living charm and authenticity to any space.
