This hallmarked sterling silver sugar shaker from 1920 follows a Georgian style with an English Country House design vibe. The object displays a polished silver finish, a baluster-shaped body, a removable pierced dome lid topped with a distinct turned finial, horizontal decorative moulding rings around the lower section, and a stepped circular foot. The surface exhibits very little wear and clean hallmarks on the upper body. The shaker measures 16 cm high, 6 cm wide, and 6 cm deep. This item works well on a sideboard top or dining table in a home today for dispensing sugar during tea or dessert service.

FAQs

Traditional silver casters are wrought or cast from sterling silver, featuring a baluster or cylindrical body, a detachable pierced dome cover for dispensing, and a raised pedestal base.

Authentic British sterling silver casters bear official assay hallmarks, including a lion passant mark indicating silver purity, a town mark, a makers mark, and a date letter.

A silver sugar caster can be placed on a dining sideboard, coffee table tray, or open kitchen shelving as a functional accessory or decorative accent.

Clean silver casters using a soft cloth and specialized silver polish to remove tarnish, and wash gently with warm soapy water before thoroughly drying to prevent water spots.
