I found a listing for 2 "mælksætter" in a Danish estate inventory from 1821. I suspect I know what is meant by the word, but--since it does not appear in my dictionary--I'd like to be 100% sure.

"Tidligere skummede man fløden af mælken ved at hælde den op i store åbne mælkekar."

"Lersætter
Sættekar, sorte mælkefade af ler, der brugtes når mælken skulle sætte fløde."

Written in 1902:
"When milk stands, a sediment often collects in the bottom of the vessel, which can be credited to nothing but the carelessness of the milker. Unless the milker makes a cleanly toilet before beginning the milking, dirt from his hands and clothing is apt to enter the milk. Thorough cleaning of all milk vessels with pure water is always very essential."

milk dish/cup holder
Mælksætter er et stativ til at holde skåle til tykmælk - it is like yogurt.
