I have a thing for corkscrews, bottle openers, and other strange old kitchen utensils. I rarely use them, just like to admire them, the rustier and clunkier, the better. Here are few nice utensils I’ve found in various thrift shops (these 4 on sale in my etsy shop at the moment) ; simple and utilitarian in design. And I found a few more from some great Etsy shops…

This one from etsy shop “yesstreen” in particular is amazing and probably not wise to use after too much wine. Note: If I only read descriptions better, I would have read that this is really a corking device! Urbancombing (see her bottleopener below) mentioned she corked Elderberry champagne with one of these!:

Here are two nice ones from “oldisnew“. The first folds, perfect for your pocket. The second one should definitely be on display in a museum.

This one from “urbancombing” is more kitschy ’70s and doesn’t fall within my rusty, shabby chic category but nice nonetheless:

Then of course there are the odd ones:

Left to right, from shops:  “Apoem”, “imwishfulthinking”, ” retroology”“ and accentonvintage”

And this one from “PortugueseVintage” is just lovely!
