Description

To create this tea infuser and strainer, I used over 400 feet of 28 gauge fine silver wire. Each single spiral of wire is hand formed individually to fit into the frames by tension so I could solder from the reverse side. The filigree had to be minutely packed into the frames to make the piece functional for all types of loose tea.

tea infuser: 1-5/8″ x 1-5/8″ x 1-5/8″, chain with dragonfly: 7″ x 1-1/2″

drip stand: 4-1/2″ x 4″ x 1/2″
