This is a late Victorian Dutch silver sugar casting spoon, dating to circa 1890 with London import hallmarks for 1892. The piece takes the form of a small silver sifter with a bright tonality, minimal tarnishing, and a desirable aged patina from careful use. The ornate design includes a short handle topped with a decorative male cameo in an oval profile portrait medallion, fine pierced fretwork across the scalloped rim bowl, and an engraved repousse rural scene showing a sitting female figure in traditional dress. The maker holds the importer mark ETB for Edwin Thompson Bryant alongside the Lion Passant, date letter R, foreign mark F in an oval, and the Leopard London town mark. Measuring 10 cm high, 6 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, this item is proportioned for practical service at the table. It sits appropriately on a sideboard top for display within a collection or for practical dining use today.

FAQs

A sugar casting spoon, also known as a sugar sifter, is a specialised piece of silver flatware featuring a pierced bowl designed for dusting granulated or powdered sugar over desserts and fruit.

These utensils were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or high-grade continental silver, utilising techniques such as repousse embossing, hand-chasing, piercing, and casting to form ornate handles and detailed decorative bowls.

Authentic pieces carry official hallmarking, including purity marks such as the lion passant or sword mark, town marks, makers marks, and occasionally duty or import hallmarks stamped upon arrival in destination countries.

Small silver table items can be styled on a dining room sideboard top, presented inside a glass display cabinet alongside vintage dining accessories, or arranged within a framed shadow box display.

Silverware should be cleaned gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialist silver polish to prevent tarnishing, avoiding abrasive materials or harsh immersion liquids that can strip oxidised details.
