Title: Wonky Molineaux Webb sugar - pattern 408
Post by: neilh on September 15, 2018, 02:11:32 PM

Picked this up recently. It's a sugar dating to the 1850s. Sometimes these come with a lid, though I doubt it in this case as it would slip off. Can't recall seeing such a wonky alignment before on one of these pieces, which I guess indicates an early pressing.

I have a bowl with a similar wonkiness (have we created a new technical term :-) ) that I purchased as a second from, I think, Stewart in Creif.
