Vintage Japanese FloralTheme Silver Tea Strainer Ball

This silver tea strainer has amazing floral open work detail over the entire body of the strainer. The tea strainer / tea ball has a silver pin that inserts into the spout of any teapot. The water then pours through the tea and tea ball to brew the tea. I believe this tea strainer is sterling. There is some type of touch mark on the rim that I cannot make out. This tea strainer measures 2-1/2" tall from the rim to the base not including the arched handle. When fully extended the piece measures 4" not including the clip portion. It measures 2-1/4" across the opening. The detail is very fine and the silver is almost like floral lace. Very unusual.
