The round bowl features geometric drainage holes and engraved scrollwork, complemented by twin rim rests on the front edge and a long flat handle with a pierced floral cut-out terminal. Viner's Ltd made this piece in Sheffield in 1939, bearing clear and readable hallmarks on the sterling silver body. The item measures 14.5 cm high, 5.7 cm wide, and 5.7 cm deep in overall dimensions. In a contemporary home, this functional tea strainer sits neatly on a sideboard top or drinks trolley ready for afternoon tea service.

FAQs

Tea strainers became prominent during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to catch loose tea leaves when pouring brewed tea from a pot into a cup. Silver was favoured for its durability, resistance to rust, and prestige during tea service.

High-quality historical examples were crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate. The bowls feature hand-punched or pierced drainage holes, often accompanied by cast or stamped metal handles and resting tabs.

Authenticity is indicated by stamped silver hallmarks denoting purity, town marks, date letters, and makers initials. Pierced patterns and wear around the handle joints also signal hand craftsmanship.

Place the strainer on a silver display tray alongside traditional tea vessels, or arrange it inside a glazed dresser unit to add historic metallic accenting to a kitchen or dining space.

Wash gently with warm water and mild soap after use, taking care to dry all perforations completely. Periodically polish with a soft cloth and specialized silver polish to eliminate tarnish and preserve the finish.
