The ornate design and silver plating suggest it was made for upper-class or middle-class homes, reflecting the era’s taste for elegant tableware. Over time, the silver plating has worn away, revealing the base metal beneath, which is a common occurrence in antique plated tableware.A round, two-handled sugar bowl, made of metal with an engraved decorative pattern along the upper rim and handles.
