Item: Sugar Nips Description: Cutter type, with engraved decoration Hallmark: London circa 1740 by John Gorham Dimensions: 128mm long; 60g weight Comments: A fabulous pair of rare sugar nips with contemporary engraved decoration to both sides. Clear hallmarks including the 1740-1755 lion passant. According to Dr Shlosberg in his book, this form of "cutter" tongs were popular in the early 1740's and were already out of favour by 1745. The engraving is especially well executed and is a rare feature as only the best quality nips were so decorated. Price: SOLD Ref. No.: SB/5638 |
