    Here's two early kitchen tools. A cherry pitter and a lemon squeezer.
    The cherry pitter is made of light metal, stamped out to shape it for easy handling and placement of the cherry.
    The cherry rests on a bowl-shaped porcelain cup that has a hole through it to accommodate the cherry pit to pass through when the spring-loaded plunger is pressed downward, thus pushing the pit out of the cherry and discards it through the hole on the porcelain cup.
    This was probably used primarily for fancy cherries that set atop a cake or pie.
    The lemon squeezer is made with a cast iron framework and a convex and concave shaped porcelain pieces that are fitted to hold a lemon slice.
    Squeezing the tool presses the lemon juice from the slice directly into your cup of tea through the holes in the porcelain cup.
