    The Grisset.
    The Grisset was got from Miss A. Byrne, Moyrath, Kildalkey by Kitty McKenna, Kildalkey.
    It is an ancient vessel which is made of metal. It is about eight inches long and one and a half inches high with a handle on the side of it. In shape it is like a boat.
    Long ago the grisset was used for melting tallow or beef fat to make rush candles. The rush were pared and a bunch of them were drawn through the grease on the grisset. Then it was left aside to cool and when cool it was ready for use.
