A wonderful larger glazed terracotta farmhouse faisselle or cheese draining mold used in a farm dairy to make soft usually goat's milk cheese called also faisselle.
 
What sets it apart is that this faisselle has a round stand to facilitate draining.
 
The hand made holes allowed the whey to drain easily, they are irregular as made by hand. This faisselle looks lovely with a candle inside with the light glowing through the holes.
 
There is a chip on the rim from use in the dairy and measures 7.5" diameter and 6.5" tall
