Souvenir from Bettws-y-Coed, a small town in Wales. The emblem features a tree, see below about the lovely town... Stainless steel tea bag holder/tea leaf strainer for pour over, or to catch any loose leaves when pouring from teapot. Typically these holders came with a small base so you could transfer the tea leaves or bag without dribbles, they are hard to find. You could put a tiny plate next to the tea cup and saucer which would still do the trick.
