I was watching 'Blue Murder' tonight and her boss used a sugar dispenser that looked like the twin for this, a straight solid metal spout sitting on top of the glass. He wasn't eating pancakes or adding cream, so this piece didn't make an appearance. But I'd guess British, surely, and defer to Christine and her creamer id. I can't believe that with all that glass you pour milk out of the carton (just like me).
