This pair of sugar tongs is not marked, but it has the zigzag where silver was removed for assay, suggesting it may be Northern European. I have a couple of little videos showing how hilarious it looks in use--maybe Scott will help me post them. IP: Logged |

Lovely, Polly - possibly the prettiest little accordion tongs I've seen, and I'd think probably German. To my eye, the 'shells' look more like stylized lotus blossoms... ~Cheryl IP: Logged |

Those are great tongs. I wish the silversmith that made them had marked them so they could be recognized as a very talented smith. A great find. IP: Logged |

Polly the zigzag is called a diet and at the assay office it is kept in a Diet Box. Please never hesitate about sending me your videos to add to your posts. IP: Logged |

Scott, I just saw your posting of my videos--thank you! I see you changed the title from Polly's Amusing Sugar Tongs to Polly's AMAZING Sugar Tongs. LOL! I guess they are KIND OF amazing, but they're definitely amusing. IP: Logged |
