FAQs

Sugar nips, also known as sugar tongs, are specialized tableware implements created during the eighteenth through early twentieth centuries to grip and serve sugar cubes during formal tea services.

Historically, solid sterling silver, silver plate, and electroplated nickel silver were used, constructed with a flexible U-shaped spring bridge or a hinged pivot mechanism.

Authentic British sterling silver items feature stamped hallmarks on the interior or exterior arm, including a makers mark, assay office mark, lion passant purity stamp, and date letter.

They can be integrated into barware setups to serve cocktail garnishes, arranged alongside modern tea trays, or displayed on a dining sideboard.

Clean using a soft cloth and specialized silver polish to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface.
