<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 398456, member: 308&quot;]Hi Aaron - Is it possible it&#039;s a scoop for solids such as grains rather than a scoop for liquids?&nbsp; Regardless it looks decorative to me rather than meant to serve a useful purpose.&nbsp; Most grain scoops are metal or wood rather than pottery or porcelain.&nbsp; A grain scoop can be useful for scooping packing peanuts from a box or bag.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for removing the paint.&nbsp; The finish bothers me.&nbsp; First, see if you can determine if there is a glaze under the paint.&nbsp; It will be very difficult to remove the paint completely if there is not a smooth glaze underneath.&nbsp; If it seems chalkish underneath leave it be.&nbsp; If it glazed try the easiest first removal method first - a simple soak in warm water with maybe a little dishwashing liquid.&nbsp;&nbsp; If it doesn&#039;t start peeling then do not scrub.&nbsp; Let it dry out and try a stronger paint remover on a small section of the bottom.&nbsp; If it dissolves the paint without dissolving any of the material underneath it will be safe to continue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps.&nbsp; Good luck!</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
