Antique Victorian Silver Plated Sugar Scuttle & Matching Scoop - Engraved Fern & Star - Coal Scuttle Shape - EPNS c.1890

Beautiful Antique Victorian Silver Plated Sugar Scuttle with Original Matching Scoop - c. 1880-1900

A lovely and very collectable piece of Victorian tableware, in the classic coal scuttle shape.

This was made to hold loaf sugar in Victorian times, which is why it is so large and has its own serving scoop.

Features:
- Classic coal scuttle / helmet shape on pedestal foot
- Original matching scoop / shovel - fits in the front slot, very hard to find complete
- Swinging ornate scroll handle
- Beautiful bright-cut engraving all around - ferns, flowers and star / diamond pattern, hand-engraved
- Original gilt-washed interior

Marks:
Marked EPNS to base - Electro Plated Nickel Silver, as expected for this period.

Condition:
In good vintage condition. Has age-related tarnish, light scratches and surface wear as shown in photos - it needs a gentle polish if you want it bright, I have left it in original untouched condition for the buyer to decide. No dents, no splits, scoop and handle all secure. Please look at all photos.

A perfect piece for a Victorian tea display, for a collector of silver plate, or as a unique serving piece.
