The very first book devoted to antique silver lemon strainers, this
is the fruit of a decade's research by a biology teacher turned
silver expert who gives equal weight to analysis and aesthetics.
Lemon strainers, normally consigned to the 'miscellany' pages of
antique silver guides, are varied, beautiful and collectable and
survive in surprising numbers considering their 150 years of use in
punch making ended 200 years ago: the author's database contains
900 examples from England, Ireland, Scotland and America. After an
extensive introduction, lemon strainers are described in 27
categories and lavishly illustrated with 268 figures.
