This Swedish tea strainer, dating from the 1930s, is crafted from brass plated with a layer of silver. The construction features a rounded bowl perforated with evenly spaced holes arranged in radiating lines, referencing the utilitarian Scandinavian design of the early 20th century. The organically shaped handle flows smoothly into the body and includes a shallow depression for easy gripping. The overall form is simple and geometric, with soft curves and a hand-finished, subtly textured surface. There are visible traces of patina, minor tarnishing, and light surface scratches typical for its age, but no major damage or signs of repair. Condition: very good, with original character and full functionality retained.This small object evokes the spirit of 1930s Swedish design, where utility was balanced with restrained elegance. The matte, silvery surface has acquired a gentle patina over time, as if it could tell stories of long, tranquil afternoons spent over tea, where the natural sheen of metal softened gradually and the hand-finished lines gained the dignity of everyday use. The Scandinavian minimalism of the strainer speaks through the organic shape of its handle, underscoring a respect for form that never overshadows function.The strainer can be used in both classic kitchen settings and as part of a collector's display of table accessories. It pairs well with porcelain cups from the same era or contemporary matte glassware. For a distinctly Scandinavian context, it could be combined with a linen napkin and a matte ceramic teapot. This detail may serve as a subtle accent on a breakfast tray or within a minimalist display cabinet, where the metal's texture and patina contrast with the smooth surfaces of porcelain and glass.
