FAQs

Tea strainers became widely used in the 18th and 19th centuries as loose-leaf tea grew popular, requiring a device to catch leaves while pouring from the pot into the cup.

They are typically crafted from sterling silver using piercing, hammering, and soldering techniques, often incorporating wooden or bone handles to prevent heat transfer.

Authenticity is verified by checking for British hallmarks, including the makers mark, standard mark, town mark, and date letter stamped onto the metal.

It can be displayed on a bar cart, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or utilized as a functional piece during formal afternoon tea gatherings.

Clean silver gently with a specialist microfibre cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips to preserve the patina and hallmarks.
