Sorry for spoiling it.

You did not spoil anything. The purpose was obvious. And comparred to some of the items I see here.

But biedermeier it is - I daninsh the period is called (sen empire) late empire - the biedermeier period resulted in so many items for specific use at the table. So i found that this was valid for a question - being a represent for that period. Even though I knew that it would not last many secunds.

And just to pay more focus to the ornament and the beauty of bidermeier

Hi,

Here is a French example made in the second standard.




I wonder if they were strictly for tea or maybe wine, on this piece the straining area is quite small and I would think it would block very quickly if used for catching tealeaves.

Trev.
