Gift Set Tea Strainer and Strainer Holder 925 Silver Niello

A two-piece set that together forms a small tea ritual: a spoon strainer with a floral niello ornament at both ends and a strainer holder, a small cup on a pedestal foot made of the same silver, whose upper rim features a fine niello floral band. After brewing, you place the strainer in the holder. Both pieces come in a dark blue gift box with a window, nestled on silky fabric. A set for tea lovers who want to put down their strainer in style after brewing.

Material and Workmanship

Both pieces of this set are made of 925 sterling silver and share the same floral black niello signature. On the spoon strainer, the decoration sits at the two curved ends of the rim, while the center of the strainer remains polished and unadorned. On the strainer holder, a narrow band of floral niello ornaments wraps around the upper rim, below which the cup shape stays smooth and simple. This recurring design language — floral niello ornament on otherwise calm, polished silver — visually connects both pieces, even though they serve different purposes: one for straining loose tea, the other as a holder in which the strainer is placed after brewing.

Use and Occasions

This set suits anyone who pays attention to detail when drinking tea: after brewing, the strainer goes into the strainer holder instead of lying wet on the table. As a gift, it is a fit for birthdays, anniversaries, or as an addition to an existing collection of table silver. The dark blue gift box with a window makes the set ready to give without further wrapping.

Care

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap — no dishwasher, as dishwasher tabs can damage silver and niello. Rinse tea residue thoroughly from the strainer after each use. The niello ornaments are permanently embedded in the silver and need no special treatment, but they do not tolerate abrasive cleaners. Store dry and away from light in the gift box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the strainer holder for?

After brewing, you place the tea strainer in the strainer holder, a small cup on a pedestal foot with a capacity of approx. 40 ml. It is the matching holder for the strainer in the same silver and niello style.

What is niello?

Niello is a dark blackening alloy that is fused into engraved recesses in the silver. It bonds permanently with the metal and does not flake off.

Can the set be engraved?

Yes, after we have checked the piece: we look at which surface on the strainer or the strainer holder is suitable once you have ordered. You add the flat fee for the engraving service directly to your cart, one per engraved piece. If engraving is not possible, we refund the fee. We then agree the wording with you.
