<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 11169984, member: 36"]It was used when you pour tea out of a pot. Europe or the UK mostly. I've seen the same design in stainless steel. Loose tea leaves sometimes get ...loose, and this strainer keeps them out of your cup. The attached bit underneath keeps whatever is strained out from dripping onto the table. I've never seen one with a fancy pour spout on the drip catcher, but it is silver and fancy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
