Product Description
There was a time when even the simplest finishing touch to a dessert was served with elegance. This lovely antique silver-plated sugar caster by the celebrated English firm Elkington & Co brings a little of that refinement back to the table, recalling an era when beautifully made silverware was an essential part of gracious entertaining.
Dating stylistically to the late Victorian or Edwardian period, this elegant caster features a gracefully tapered body rising from a spreading circular foot, topped with a beautifully pierced domed cover and decorative finial. The polished silver-plated surface reflects the light, while the delicate pierced decoration allows a fine dusting of sugar over cakes, pastries, fresh berries or traditional desserts.
Standing approximately 16cm tall, this charming piece reflects the quality of craftsmanship associated with Elkington & Co, one of Britain's most respected manufacturers of silver-plated tableware. Equally attractive displayed on a dining room sideboard or brought out for afternoon tea, it offers a lovely way to incorporate a little history into everyday entertaining.
The caster presents well, with a small dent to the domed top and gentle signs of age consistent with its antique character.
Each piece in our collection carries the subtle marks of time, adding to its authenticity and charm. Any notable details are thoughtfully included in the description and imagery. Should you wish to see more, we are always happy to assist.
