FAQs

A silver tea strainer was developed alongside loose-leaf tea consumption to filter leaves as liquid was poured from teapot to cup. Early examples were crafted from sterling silver to prevent imparting metallic flavours to the tea and to reflect table status.

These utensils were wrought or cast from sterling silver with 925 fineness and finished by hand. Bowl perforations were punched individually or in geometric patterns, while decorative handles were cast separately and soldered into position.

Authenticity is verified through official hallmark stamps indicating silver purity, makers initials, assay office symbol, and date letter. Solid sterling pieces display official hallmarks rather than electroplate markings like EPNS.

Silver tea accessories can be displayed on a sideboard tray alongside contemporary glassware or integrated into formal afternoon tea settings. They also serve as decorative display pieces inside a glazed cabinet or butlers pantry.

Silver should be washed in warm soapy water and dried immediately with a soft lint-free cloth to prevent water spots. Tarnish can be removed using a specialized non-abrasive silver polish applied gently around delicate perforations.
