This tea strainer, originating from Germany in the 1930s, is crafted from brass plated with silver. Its design, rooted in early Art Deco aesthetics, features restrained, geometric lines and is free from unnecessary ornamentation. The main body forms a rounded bowl with numerous fine perforations for precise tea leaf straining. The handle is smoothly integrated into the form, gently curved and slightly concave to ensure comfortable use. The surface presents a cool, matte silver tone with a subtle patina and occasional soft sheen—traces of years of use and polishing. The metal bears minor scratches and spots consistent with its age, yet there are no major structural damages. All components are original, and the strainer remains in very good condition, with visible marks of hand-finishing.Within this small object lies the spirit of the 1930s, a time when functionalism met the understated elegance of Art Deco. The silver-plated brass, devoid of ornament, tells the story of an era seeking harmony between practicality and refined form. The strainer seems to whisper of mornings nearly a century past, when the ritual of brewing tea was a daily ceremony and every detail bore the hallmarks of artisanal precision.This piece would suit a breakfast tray in a period living room or serve as a subtle accent on a dining table styled with nods to modernism. It could be paired with a porcelain cup, a silver sugar bowl, or a minimalist teapot, creating a cohesive collector's composition. Classic or eclectic interiors will benefit from its authentic vintage detail, and the strainer’s clean, geometric lines will highlight the overall harmony of form.
