[26-0817] tmockait, I'd be interested in chatting porcelain with you. I am kind of into that, too. I haven't found any sites as good as this neat silver one for the other things. You don't have an email, though. When I hunted for your email I did notice you listed silver sugar sifters as an interest. Do you collect them? I have a pretty little Tiffany sugar sifter with a gold washed bowl. I didn't even know what it was at first! You want to see? IP: Logged |

Your sugar sifter was made for Tiffany by Polhamus & Strong of New York, c. 1845. A similar one is pictured in Tiffany Silver Flatware, 1845-1905: When Dining Was an Art, p. 24, Fig. 11. IP: Logged |

Thanks for that. I think it's cute, but I have yet to use it. I should figure out something to sprinkle sugar on for the holidays. IP: Logged |

Very nice! Yes, my wife and I began collecing sugar sifters when I was doing my doctoral research in London in 1987. They were abundant, readily affordable (even on our budget!), and attractive. I had no interest in or understanding of hallmarks until about 3 years ago. Most of my sifters are plate from the late Victorian and Edwardain period. Search under my user name in the silverplate forum for pictures of them. Other than sifting sugar onto xmas cookies, I cannot think of a use for them. Thanks for posting the photos, IP: Logged |

You can use it to sprinkle sugar on fresh fruit or, as the Victorians did, even on already sweetened items, including cakes and pies as well as cookies. IP: Logged |

It will also work for serving fruits, like crabapples, from a liquid sauce. And for dumplings which are in a heated liquid. Sometimes I have heard them called pierced ladles. They are very good for preserved peaches and pears and cranberries. IP: Logged |
