Rare Lidded Russian Cream in Sugar – SOLD |
It is my guess that these were made by Dorflinger. In addition to Dorflinger being one of the most prolific cutters of the Russian pattern, they also tended to use this type of handle attachment – even on banquet lamps!
The Russian pattern adorns the perimeter of this cream and sugar. Especially unusual is the pattern-cut lid on the sugar bowl with glass finial. Both pieces in this set are on a slight wafter foot. The foot is finished with a rayed star.
All pieces are in excellent condition with just a few fleabites in the cutting. Covered cream and sugars are hard to come by and the unusual handle attachment and wafered-feet make this set particularly unusual. These measure approximately 5 1/2″ tall with the lid and 6″ long
