Kitchenalia is my latest passion. I recently scored a lovely French herb chopper and an antique garlic or potato masher. Sometimes, however, the real thing is a tad expensive. I was mining the web and found two sites that offer reproductions at a much reduced price over its antique counter part and I thought I would share them with you.
Original English butter slabs can run anywhere from $1200 to $2500. Or you can find a reproduction English Butter Platter from Joanne Hudson for much, much less (click on the picture to go directly to the product/site):

Original French wire ware cooling racks can cost upwards of $150 or so, if you can find one. However, a reproduction of an old wire cookie rack from Donna Hay is very reasonable (click on the picture to go directly to the product/site):

I get tremendous joy (and use) out of both of these items and look forward to having them a part of my renovated kitchen.
I hope you find some inspiration.
Always,
Cindy
