Robert Welch Drift Tea Strainer Bowl

The traditional tea strainer and bowl is given a contemporary reworking with this elegant piece from Robert Welch. Stainless steel and curved lines make for a thoroughly contemporary yet classic piece. The thoughtful design looks good but is also practical – the tea strainer is given a wider surface area to make it suitable for straining a variety of teas.

Brand: Robert Welch

When Robert Welch MBE (1929 – 2000) launched his company in 1955, he did so by setting up his drawing board and a camp bed in a disused workshop in an 18th century silk mill in Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds. From there, he created some of the most famous products in British domestic design, focusing on highly functional, affordable pieces from cutlery and kitchen utensils, to champagne buckets and candlesticks. Today, two of Welch’s children, Rupert and Alice, continue to design and manufacture from the same location, carrying on their father’s legacy
