gosh - you are posh Fred - are there people who decant their preserves, still .......... and I bet you use a butter dish, sugar bowl, and don't pour wine from a bottle
When I was at Kew this morning, amazing to see the reams of Sowerby Registrations for butter dishes and sugar bowls - such refined manners the Victorians had.
Looking at this thing, it struck me how impracticle the edges are - almost flat and with a sharp edge........mine has some nibbles and a chip - so typical of what happens to those fine edges. Also a little unusual, I thought, with the Rd. No. showing on both bowls.
