Details
Description:
A beautiful 4 1/8" tall silver plate sugar shaker or muffineer. This metal shaker has a nice shapely form and a pull-off lid or top. The shaker has round pedestal foot which rises in a shapely way (pear shaped) to the top. The edge of the top is rolled and smooth on the inside to allow a lid or perforated top to tightly fit within it. The shaker is made of silver-plated metal as is the lid. The lid has longitudinal curved openings with a small hole in the middle in a repeating pattern and a finial on top. Of course, these openings are there to shake the powdered sugar out. A very nice vintage piece, which would make a great addition to your collection. Please carefully review the photos presented as they are part and parcel of our description.
