ANTIQUE SILVER LEMON STRAINERS
Originating in Britain during the early part of 18th Century, silver lemon strainers, or citrus strainers, were designed originally to be used along side punch bowls, for straining pips from fruit when making punch, a drink that had been popular since its introduction from India in around 1630. They are normally found with 2 long handles, which allowed them to rest on the bowl, and sometimes with a single handle and a clip to attach to the side of the bowl. Good condition examples are very sought after with collectors
