Antique Porcelain Tea Strainer

A lovely antique porcelain tea strainer once used for brewing loose-leaf tea before tea bags became common. The small perforations allow the tea to pass through while catching the leaves, resting neatly inside a teacup or small pot.

Finished in a soft creamy white glaze, this simple piece of everyday kitchenware dates to the late 1800s–early 1900s and reflects the quiet beauty of traditional tea rituals. A charming addition to an ironstone collection or styled on a hutch for a touch of old-world charm.
