FAQs

Silver tea strainers became popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as loose-leaf tea drinking spread across Europe. They were designed to rest over a tea cup or sit on a dedicated drip stand to catch leaf sediment as tea was poured.

During the 1930s, silver strainers were typically hand-pierced or machine-stamped from sterling silver sheet metal, often featuring geometric Art Deco motifs and hallmarked according to British assay standards.

Authentic pieces carry a full set of British hallmarks, including the monarchs mark, town mark, date letter for the late 1930s to early 1950s, and the makers initials stamped into the silver.

A silver tea strainer can be displayed on a dining room sideboard, arranged on a brass tray alongside fine china, or utilised as an functional accessory during loose-leaf tea service.

Silver strainers should be washed gently in warm soapy water using a non-abrasive cloth, then dried thoroughly. Occasional polishing with a specialised silver cream preserves the lustre without stripping delicate hallmark details.
