Dr. Shlosberg has uncovered and reveals evidence which indicates these utensils were originally referred to as Tea Tongs, not sugar nips, nippers or sugar tongs. This comprehensive guide for antique silver collectors includes chapters discussing and illustrating the history, making, forms, finger rings, arms, hinges, shafts and grips. Also discussed in detail are the progression of changes in style, information concerning flaws and repairs, price valuation of tongs, as well as the social use of sugar in 18th century England. There are also very interesting illustrated chapters on miniature tongs made for children and other rare silverware. Includes images of makers' marks and an index of known and identified makers of tea tongs.


The price includes International registered shipping and insurance directly from the author in the UK.
