Antique 1923 Sterling Silver Tea Strainer

Here we have a lovely Antique Sterling Silver Tea Strainer from the 1920s. It comes in a gift bag and would be a lovely present for a tea lover.

The strainer is made of shiny Sterling Silver and has two arms to rest on a cup. It has a pretty rim around the edges and a lovely pattern to the bowl.

It was made by Robert Pringle and Sons and it was Hallmarked in London in 1923. The makers mark and Hallmarks are on the side of the sieve bowl.

There is a tear to the Silver on one of the arms which can be seen in the photos and the pricing takes this into account. The other arm has a line across it and 3846 BDD scratched into the underside.

It's quite solid for its size weighing 38.9g. It measures 12.5cm from the end of one arm to the end of the other (just under 5 inches). The diameter of the sieve bowl is 5cm (just under 2 inches).
