Description: What makes this handsome vintage Sterling Silver tea strainer particularly notable is its hallmark. It was made in Birmingham by the noted silversmith William Suckling. The date code indicates that the piece was made in the year 1936 during the brief one year reign of King Edward VIII, who caused a constitutional crisis in Britain by his proposal to marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson. When it became apparent that he could not marry Simpson and remain as king, Edward VIII abdicated the throne in December of 1936. This almost 90 year old item is in excellent condition, with no significant scratches or dents. The tea strainer is both an attractive and useful implement as well as an interesting piece of British history. It would be a wonderful addition to the collection of any Anglophile tea lover.
