Sugar bowl
Shallow circular sugar bowl, pale lemon silver gilt, standing on a low foot rim, curving to straight sides and to a low neck, two rectangular handles, with grooved and beaded ornament; the surfaces have a matt frosted texture with bright machine engraving in the Anglo-Japanese style with brocade ornament, birds, bamboo, ferns, flowers and fans.
Japanese-influenced designs became very fashionable from the 1870s and firms like Elkington made them available to a broad consumer market. Elkington & Co patented the electroplating process in 1840, which revolutionised the silver plate industry.
