An Edwardian sterling silver sugar basket paired with matching silver sugar tongs sits inside a fitted presentation case lined with turquoise green fabric. The oval basket displays intricate pierced scrollwork revealing a deep blue glass liner beneath, complemented by a raised swing handle and an oval blank cartouche stamped with hallmarks. The accompanying tongs feature shell terminals and distinct maker's marks along the handle. The basket measures 11 cm by 8 cm and 5,5 cm high to the rim, while the combined items weigh 90.3 grams excluding the liner. Placed upon a sideboard top within an English country house interior, the set brings period elegance to the room for display or practical service.

FAQs

Produced during the reign of King Edward VII (19011910), Edwardian silver sugar baskets frequently drew inspiration from 18th-century Neo-Classical and Rococo revival designs. They commonly feature pierced openwork silver bodies, swing handles, fitted cobalt blue glass liners, and were often sold in custom fitted presentation cases.

The basket outer structure was made from sheet sterling silver that was pierced using fretsaws or hand punches to create decorative motifs. A removable hand-blown cobalt glass liner was fitted inside to contain the sugar, while matching tongs and custom plush-lined leatherette cases completed the set.

Authentic British sterling silver items feature a series of stamped hallmarks, including the lion passant for silver purity (.925), an assay office mark (such as a leopards head for London or an anchor for Birmingham), a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Cased silver sets can be styled open on sideboards, console tables, or within glass display cabinets to highlight both the metalwork and the lining fabric. Grouping silver items alongside dark timber or modern glassware creates visual contrast in traditional and contemporary spaces alike.

Remove the blue glass liner before cleaning the silver frame with a specialized silver polishing cloth or mild silver dip. Clean the glass liner separately with warm water and mild detergent, ensuring it is entirely dry before reinserting to prevent moisture accumulation against the metal.
