This tea infuser spoon, produced in Poland during the 1970s, embodies the utilitarian modernism characteristic of the era. Crafted from silver-plated brass, it presents a cool, silvery tone with a slightly matte finish. The design features two oval, perforated halves forming a hinged compartment for loose tea leaves; the hinge is exposed, underscoring the mechanical simplicity of the construction. The handle is solid, gently tapered and ergonomically shaped for a secure grip. The perforations are regularly spaced, and the entire spoon retains a uniform metallic color without any decorative patterns or embellishments. The proportions are balanced and practical. The overall condition is very good, with only minor surface scratches visible—no dents or signs of significant wear.The form of this spoon reflects the spirit of everyday life in 1970s Central Europe, an era when design prioritized functionality and durability. Its cool sheen evokes the image of morning kitchens, where the repetition of gestures and reliance on well-crafted tools became part of daily rituals. The understated, almost ascetic construction tells a story of respect for craftsmanship and material economy—as if the spoon itself could recount a narrative of practical choices and the calm order of its time.This tea infuser spoon can serve as a collectible accent among vintage objects or as a daily tool at the table. It could be paired with a simple enamel teapot, tea glasses in metal holders, or minimalist porcelain. The piece would suit a retro-inspired kitchen as well as a contemporary space, subtly introducing a vintage detail. It is worth combining with other modernist accessories—a wooden tray, a glass sugar bowl, or a geometrically patterned textile napkin.
