This sterling silver tea strainer and matching bowl set dates from the Art Deco period. The polished silver pieces have a bright reflective finish and show faint signs of handling wear on the inner bowl surface. The strainer has a detachable floral pierced bowl with star and dot perforations, a diamond-shaped motif at the base, and an elongated stepped handle with ribbed line decoration. The round matching drip bowl features a plain smooth exterior. The bowl dimensions are H: 2.5cm x Diameter: 7.6cm, and the strainer dimensions are Length: 14cm x Diameter: 5.7cm. Today, this set serves as a functional afternoon tea accessory or a decorative display item on a sideboard top or dining room table. It accommodates loose leaf tea preparation in domestic kitchens and period dining settings, resting neatly in its accompanying holder when not in use.

FAQs

A silver tea strainer is positioned over a teacup to catch loose tea leaves as tea is poured from a teapot. The accompanying drip bowl provides a dedicated resting place for the wet strainer after pouring, preventing spills on the tablecloth.

Sterling silver strainers are made from an alloy of 92.5 percent pure silver mixed with copper for structural rigidity. The bowl is shaped through raising or spinning, followed by hand-piercing or machine-punching to create decorative filtration patterns.

Authentic sterling silver items feature official assay office hallmarks or purity stamps such as 925, a lion passant in British silver, or designated maker marks. Electroplated silver items are typically marked EPNS, indicating nickel silver rather than solid sterling.

A sterling silver tea strainer can be displayed on a dining sideboard, styled on a silver tray alongside crystal glassware, or integrated into a curated bar cart arrangement as a decorative metal accent.

Silver teaware should be hand washed in warm water with mild soap and dried immediately with a soft cloth. Tarnish can be removed using a specialized silver polishing cloth or gentle foam polish, taking care around intricate perforations.
