Description
In the past, in grandmother's time, there was a Tomado product that was the epitome of Dutch thrift. Namely, the bottle dripper or drip stand. This item was useful in the days when yogurt and custard were supplied in bottles and no one had ever heard of packs.

You could get the last bit out of the bottle with a bottle scraper (also made by Tomado), but that often gave a mess. Grandma put the bottle dripper on the counter and the custard bottle upside down in the handy rack with a dish underneath. Gravity did the rest.

Condition
This bottle dispenser is in a neat vintage condition with minimal traces of use and age-related traces of wear. Pictures are part of the description.

Tomado was a Dutch company for household products, particularly in plastic coated wire.

The company was founded in Dordrecht in 1923 by the Van der Togt brothers. Tomado stands for Van der Togt Massa Articles Dordrecht. Originally, it was a small company that produced simple wallpaper brackets made of copper wire, which could be used to mount photos on wallpaper. After the Dutch Association of Housewives gave the company the assignment to develop a metal drainer it started to grow and soon a factory in Zwijndrecht was opened.

After the Second World War, the reconstruction period began in which Tomado-products symbolized the modern housekeeping. They became very popular and almost every household possessed one or more Tomado products. Due to the popularity of the brand, the company grew rapidly in the 1950s.

Popular products mainly concerned Tomado racks made of iron wire which came in the colours white, black, red, yellow and blue, reminding of the creations of Gerrit Rietveld and Piet Mondriaan. Very well known were the bookshelves with supports of wire steel and metal shelves in different pastel colours. These are great collector's items at this moment.
