Mint-green enamel, interwoven with delicate golden spiral tendrils, dark green foliage, and a soft pink lotus blossom at the transition to the handle — this spoon strainer looks like a small garden painting in silver and gold. The interior is fully gilded and shines as soon as you lift it from the pot. A tea strainer for those who prefer subtle color over a loud pattern.

Material and Workmanship

The basket of this tea strainer is made of 925 sterling silver and is fully gilded on the inside. The wide, oval rim features a mint-green enamel surface, into which delicate golden spiral tendrils are embedded — a pattern of small curls and flourishes reminiscent of moving foliage. Dark green, almost petrol-colored leaf shapes provide darker accents, while a delicate pink lotus blossom with white highlights forms the actual pictorial motif at the transition to the handle. The oval handle end is smoothly gilded and forms a calm counterbalance to the decorated surface. The spoon shape with a finely perforated sieve base is designed for loose tea of any granulation.

Usage and Occasions

This tea strainer is perfect for anyone who likes floral motifs in muted, calm colors. As a gift, it is suitable for a tea lover's birthday, Mother's Day, as an addition to an existing silver or porcelain service, or as a small but lasting present for a wedding. It is also an unusual choice for a housewarming gift or as a thank-you for an invitation, appearing in everyday life again and again instead of having a one-time effect.

Care

Hand wash with warm water and mild detergent — no dishwasher, as dishwasher tablets and heat can damage the gilding and the enamel surface. After rinsing, pat dry with a soft cloth; do not use abrasive sponges or polishes on the enamel. Store dry and protected from light in the gift box.

Frequently Asked Questions

In many cultures, the lotus symbolizes purity and new beginnings, as it blossoms immaculately from murky water — a motif well suited for a gift that is meant to accompany a new phase of life, such as a housewarming or a wedding.

Is the gilding suitable for everyday use?

Yes, as long as you hand wash the tea strainer instead of putting it in the dishwasher. The gilding is on solid 925 silver and will last with careful handling.

Which cups and pots is the strainer suitable for?

With a length of approx. 12 cm, the spoon strainer rests comfortably on common teacups and pot openings and is suitable for all types of loose tea.
