I saw something just like that on the Nate Burkus show this week. They said it was used to hold sugar. I am not sure if it was for cubes or grains. I had never seen something like that before.

For serving wine. Shape is based on the Corinthian helmet.

If you're a beer guy, put Miller in it... the champagne of beers.

[edit] on second thought, it looks too small for a bottle. Still helmet shaped tho.

Yes, it is a Victorian 'coal scuttle' sugar bowl. Nice snag for $2.50. Breezie

Breezie and Baylorhall FTW! and for some reason they are called sugar shells, maybe for the shape. Some had a little scoop like the one Breezie showed and some have little tiny tongs for cube sugar, does it have any marks on the bottom, name or symbols? nice catch for that small sum!
