FAQs

Tea strainers became essential dining accessories during the Victorian and Edwardian periods as loose-leaf tea gained popularity and afternoon tea culture expanded across households.

They are typically crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring pierced work, hand-engraved details, and cast handles soldered to the bowl.

Authentic pieces often bear hallmarks indicating the assay office, makers mark, and standard of silver, along with natural patina and wear consistent with age.

These small silver objects can be displayed on a sideboard, integrated into a bar cart arrangement, or used practically during formal dining and tea services.

Use a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish sparingly to maintain the metal, avoiding harsh abrasives that can damage fine pierced details and hallmarks.
