This is an old antique porcelain hand whisk made in Germany. It has been in my family for over 100 yrs. It is in wonderful shape considering the years. The porcelain does not have any crazing, cracking nor chips. The broom part is in excellent shape. The only issue is where the metal ring has been sitting on the broom fibers is discolored from time. It is really a unique and lovely piece. 3-1/2" on the porcelain and overall is 7-5/8". Smoke free home.
