Historical information

This sugar bowl was likely part of a formal tea service, commonly used in Victorian and Edwardian households.
It would have been used to serve granulated or lump sugar alongside tea or coffee.
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.

The handles are ornate, with intricate scrollwork, suggesting a Victorian or Edwardian-era design.
