Antique Silver Sugar Caster

1900 - 1920
Description

A good example of a solid Sterling Silver sugar caster. It is a stylish and good quality piece with an angular flared body and pierced top with turned finial.

It is engraved "Presented by the Ships' Company H.M.S Rifleman".

It is clearly hallmarked for Chester, 1914 and the maker Stokes & Ireland. It weighs approximately 97g.

It is in good condition for its age. There are some faint surface marks, light knocks and small dinks but nothing detrimental and overall it displays well. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

An antique sterling silver sugar caster, created in the Georgian style during the 1910 period, presents a polished silver finish. The piece comprises an octagonal angular flared body standing on a stepped pedestal foot, surmounted by a pierced dome lid with a turned urn finial. Hand-engraved cursive script near the base reads "Presented by the Ship's Company H.M.S. Rifleman". Minor surface wear includes faint marks and light dinks consistent with age and gentle polishing. Measuring 16 cm high and 6 cm wide, this decorative vessel suits display and service atop a dining room sideboard or a living room side table in a traditional interior setting.

FAQs

A sugar caster is a table utensil designed to sprinkle granulated or cast sugar over food, originating in the late seventeenth century across Britain and Europe.

Sugar casters were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, featuring hand-pierced decorative lids and raised baluster or octagonal bodies.

Authentic silver casters feature official hallmarks indicating silver purity, maker, location, and date, along with crisp hand-piercing on the dome cap and fitted joints.

Position a silver sugar caster on a dining sideboard, drinks trolley, or mantelpiece alongside clear glassware to create a refined textural contrast.

Wash gently in warm soapy water, dry completely with a soft cloth, and polish periodically using a dedicated silver cream to prevent heavy oxidisation.
