This Georgian sugar sifter combines a clear cut-glass body with polished sterling silver fittings. The faceted baluster glass features vertical fluting and raised beading, resting on a square moulded silver base and topped with a screw-off silver lid. The domed lid displays pierced holes for sifting, a rope-twist border around the base, and a small rounded finial. Hallmarks for Sheffield 1826 and the maker William Blackwell & Co. appear on the silver collar, alongside light surface wear visible on the metal. The piece measures 18 cm high, 5 cm wide, and 5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this item suits placement on a dining room sideboard top, a display cabinet shelf, or a kitchen counter as a functional table accessory for serving or as a decorative accent piece.

FAQs

A Georgian silver sugar sifter, or caster, is an 18th or early 19th-century dining vessel designed to sprinkle granulated or cast sugar evenly over fruit and desserts.

These pieces were typically constructed from hand-blown cut glass or lead crystal fitted with hallmarked sterling silver mounts and pierced caster tops.

Authentic examples feature period silver hallmarks stamped on the mount or lid, hand-cut glass with subtle wear on the base, and individually hand-pierced holes in the silver cover.

Display it as part of a bar cart setup, incorporate it into a dining room sideboard vignette, or place it on open kitchen shelving alongside contemporary glass tableware.

Hand wash the glass body with mild warm soapy water, avoiding extreme temperature changes, and polish the silver top gently using a soft cloth and dedicated silver polish.
