A small ceremony at the table, the kind that makes an ordinary cup of tea feel considered. Sugar tongs keep the ritual precise, and these do it with a lightness that heavier modern pieces rarely manage.
Scissor-action sugar tongs in silver plate, with feathered claw tips that grip a lump of sugar cleanly. The form is slender and balanced in the hand. At 13.5 cm, it is the right length for a sugar bowl without overwhelming it. Silver plate over a base metal, developed to the standard English silver plating tradition values for flatness of deposit and durability of surface.
English silver plated sugar tongs, made in the United Kingdom in the early 1900s. Sheffield and Birmingham silver plating traditions produced pieces built to last generations, and the patina on this pair is the mark of that longevity.
