Our Take
A splurge-worthy piece that transforms the mundane into the memorable.
You're buying a functional colander that happens to be genuinely beautiful—hand-painted, not mass-produced.
MacKenzie-Childs pieces blur the line between tool and decor; this one sits on your counter and makes you smile every time you use it.
On price
At $129.95, this is a premium price for a colander, but you're paying for hand-painted artistry and heirloom-quality design rather than volume production.
The Criteria
What to weigh
01
Size & Capacity
9.5" dia. × 11.5" W × 5" H, 2.75-quart capacity
Large enough to handle a full box of pasta or a colander's worth of fresh produce, but still proportioned for regular everyday use. The dimensions feel intentional—not oversized for show, not cramped for function.
02
Craft & Finish
Hand-glazed enamel steel with antiqued brass-finished handles, hand-painted brown-and-white checks
Each piece carries visible character from its hand-painted design. The enamel-on-steel construction feels substantial and durable, while the brass handles add vintage warmth without being fussy.
03
Real-World Use
Strains pasta, vegetables, berries; works as hostess gift or kitchen décor
This isn't purely decorative—it's a working colander that earns its counter space. The high 4.7-star rating from 198 reviews suggests it performs as reliably as it looks.
Who it’s for
For people who believe kitchen tools can be beautiful, collectors of MacKenzie-Childs pieces, and anyone who gives gifts that feel personal and lasting.
