A small vintage silver-plated tea strainer spoon with a pierced bowl, ornate scalloped rest, and Art Deco-style handle detailing.
The handle features a circular finial, raised dot border, fluted vertical lines, and a stylized wheat or leaf motif, giving the piece a graphic early 20th-century look. The original silver plate has worn significantly over time, revealing the warm brass-tone base metal beneath. Traces of old polish remain in recessed areas, adding to its aged character.
Found in Prague. Because the piece is unmarked, the exact age and origin are unknown, but the construction, heavy silver-plate wear, and Art Deco-style detailing suggest an older vintage piece, possibly early–mid 20th century.

Condition: Good aged condition with heavy silver-plate wear, exposed brass-tone base metal, patina, polish residue in recessed areas, oxidation, and surface wear consistent with age and use
