Up for sale is an elegant vintage over-the-cup tea strainer.

This charming piece features a beautifully detailed, pierced openwork crown top handle that allows it to rest securely across the rim of a teacup.

It comes equipped with a deep, fine wire-mesh basket designed to efficiently catch loose tea leaves.

A classic addition to any traditional afternoon tea service, vintage kitchenalia collection, or display.

Condition: Good vintage condition with an authentic aged patina.

The silver plating shows some wear, tarnish, and darkening, particularly inside the mesh basket, which is normal for its age and gives it a wonderful rustic character.

The mesh is intact with no major holes.

Please inspect all photos for an accurate view of its current state.
