A magnificent embossed Edwardian silver sugar basket & matching sifter spoon, magnificent & cased, with clear and crisp matching hallmarks for Sheffield 1909.  Weight 248.6g / 8tr oz. Only on rare occasions do I ever describe items as 'magnificent', well there is no other way to describe this, it is simply the best example of its type I have seen in 47 years of dealing.  Such a bonus too, having the original case, itself a work of art.  The bowl is 6" / 15cm wide, and importantly is displaying little sign of wear or use, doubtless protected in part by its sturdy case.  The maker is also the retailer, as shown on the inside lid of the case, and also the underside of the sugar bowl.  

Thus described; J.H.B over H.B into a trefoil JZ Barraclough & Sons - James Henry & Herbert Barraclough - The retail business was established in Leeds in 1805. By 1887 Z. Barraclough & Sons are listed at 54 Briggate Commercial Street, Leeds. Excellent condition, free from damage or repair.
