MacKenzie-Childs Check Colander
Best luxury kitchen accent for stylish home entertainers.
This is a rare kitchen tool that demands to be left out on the counter rather than hidden in a cupboard. While the heavy-gauge steel construction ensures it handles pasta and produce with ease, the hand-painted finish turns a mundane chore into a deliberate design statement.
