Item: Sugar Nips Description: Engraved Rococo scroll
arms Hallmark: London 1755
by Henry Plumpton Dimensions: 123mm; 38 g weight Comments: A fine and unusual pair of Georgian sugar nips in superb condition. These nips have similarities with contemporary pieces from Ireland which invariably bear engraved decoration - the vast majority of English made examples are plain in that respect. The central pivot cover is chased to one side with a shell motif and engraved "W" to the obverse. Henry Plumpton was a major producer of the best sugar nips and these nips would be amongst his finest creations.
