<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silverthwait, post: 542533, member: 103&quot;]Ahem!&nbsp; As yet, I have not teased out from anywhere the information I want about sugar bowls -- so if anyone can help, please do.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously, once sugar no longer needed to be wrestled away from a solid cone shape, the sugar bowl came into existence.&nbsp; Some had lids which helped during damp, or humiditous weather.&nbsp; But not all bowls had them.&nbsp; And, during the Victorian Age of huge families and porridge-for-breakfast, the bowls became quite large.&nbsp; (So much so, that people today often don&#039;t know what they were for.)&nbsp; Hence also the sugar spoon, same length (or slightly more) than a teaspoon.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is that, today, sugar bowls are smaller.&nbsp; They are larger than a coffee cup, but nowhere near the Victorian ones.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the sugar spoon did not change to comlement the new bowl.&nbsp; So now we have a sugar bowl with a tall spoon poking out like a mast on a schooner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nor has the matter of the little cutout for the spoon been solved.&nbsp; If it is there, one has to figure out not only where to put the lid while using, but how to gracefully rectify the sugar lumps from humidity.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have solved but one of these difficulties.&nbsp; Instead of the official sugar spoon which came with my pattern, I use a baby feeding spoon -- the short-handled one with the rounded bowl.</p><p><br /></p><p>End of the Sugar Bowl Treatise.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
