Know before you buy
The set consists of the strainer itself and a matching drip bowl or stand. This allows you to rest the strainer securely after pouring your tea without making a mess on your table.
To preserve the finish, hand wash the strainer with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh detergents, and use a high-quality silver polish occasionally if you notice any natural tarnish.
Yes, the mesh is designed to catch standard loose-leaf varieties effectively. However, if you are brewing very fine tea dust or rooibos, some small particles may pass through the mesh.
No, silver plate is a neutral material that does not impart any metallic flavor to your tea. It is a safe and traditional choice for tea service, provided it is kept clean.
This is an original vintage piece from the Chapel Farm Collection, crafted in Sheffield, UK, circa 1930. Because it is a historical item, you should expect minor signs of wear consistent with its age, which only adds to its authentic character.
