This is a vintage English tea strainer with a heart shaped cut outs in the handle that was made in the 1920-1930s.

The cute heart handled tea strainer is used over the cup to strain the tea leaves from your teapot getting into your teacup.

The tea strainer measures 5.25 inches long by 2.15 inches in diameter.

The tea strainer is in very good +++ used vintage condition and is marked EPNS meaning it was originally silver plated on brass, but all the plating is gone.
