Etsy - AToasttothePast Vintage Sugar Sifter
Description
On offer is this lovely sugar sifting spoon/ ladle. It's in good condition overall, the silver plating shines up well still - notable light scuffs & scratches commensurate with age but as shown all adding to the aged charm & character of the piece. The enameling is also in good order however there are notable bites to the red flag area. It's of traditional form, the bowl has been beautifully decorated with a series of holes in an attractive formation perfect for sifting. The handle features an enameled terminal showing a flag for the Belfast Steamship Company & name "M. V. Ulster Prince" - a passenger ferry which operated across the Irish Sea between 1929 & 1940 - unfortunately she was destroyed during the Second World War in 1941 while operating as a troopship in Greece. Unmarked for a maker, Sheffield produced, circa Art Deco era, 1930's. It measures a charming 12.7cm (5 inches) in length & is ready to be collected & enjoyed once again!
