Rare vintage, Elkington sugar shaker in ‘Monarchy plate’

Today we are pleased to offer a solid and attractive piece of  kitchenware, a silver plate sugarshaker by Elkington. The name Elkington is well respected in silver plate and the Elkington brothers, George and Henry who are attributed with developing and refining the process. The company patented the silver plate process in the early 1830’s and had it perfected by 1840, allowing them to license the process to other manufacturers. This sugar shaker dates from about 1936/7 and has the clean lines seen as shopper tastes moved toward mid-century modern. The shaker is in perfect working order with the lid being a good secure fit, by depressing the top button, when using a ‘caster' or icing sugar, depressing the top button the centre base plated releases thed sugar in a controlled, decorative manner on the  sponge or similar.
