925 silver tea strainer: an over-the-cup strainer with two handle plates
The catalogue names the type an over-the-cup strainer with two handles. The dish is oval and has a hemispherical hollow. The base and lower wall are perforated. To the right and left extend two flat handle plates with a curved edge.
The strainer is newly made by SevChern in Veliky Ustyug. If you want it with a holder, you will also find it in a set.
Niello on the plates, silver in the hollow
The dark of niello sits only on the handle plates; the hollow stays matt and the rim gleams. The piece thus has three surfaces. Each plate bears tulip buds, a blossom with a diamond centre and tendrils.
The two blossoms are set rotated by 180 degrees. They can be read as the same drawing, once on the left, once on the right, with the hollow as the centre.
The hollow is matt, the rim gleams
The rim is smooth all around and polished by hand; beside it, the satin-finished hollow looks quiet.
The handle plates are flat, their edge is curved.
For a wedding, on the couple’s tea table
For a wedding, the strainer lies on the breakfast table next to the couple’s cup, a table gift for the first shared morning with tea.
It is also a small gift for a birthday and for tea lovers.
Space for a name on the smooth edge, and a verse for the wedding
After checking, an engraving can be placed on the smooth edge of a handle plate. We assess this on the piece and go through the wording with you.
For a wedding, the SilberVerse card is a fitting addition, created free of charge on request. The verse takes up the occasion and the couple’s names individually, as a photo card in 15 × 10 cm format.
Tea strainer Solaria: briefly answered
What is the strainer intended for?
The manufacturer calls it a small strainer for tea or herbs. The dish carries the perforation, the plates carry the niello.
Is there a strainer holder to go with it?
Yes, in the set with over-the-cup strainer and strainer holder. It contains the same strainer, plus the holder and the gift box.
What applies to caring for the tea strainer?
The strainer can be washed by hand in lukewarm water; then dry it gently. The article Niello and its care provides the background.
What is the difference from a tea infuser ball and a tea strainer with handle?
The tea infuser ball is a ball on a chain; the tea strainer with handle is held by a handle. The over-the-cup strainer instead has two plates and a shallow dish.
Is the strainer a wedding gift?
Yes, as a small table gift for a couple. More silver gifts for celebrations and anniversaries are gathered in the anniversary gifts.
