The pair shown in the illustration dates from about 1730. This ' ' scissors ' ' type, with its grace- ful scrolls, was cast and then filed, and the plates cover- ing the pivot were sometimes beautifully engraved. The later types, belonging to the latter part of the eighteenth century and the early part of the nineteenth, were generally in the form of tongs and made from a single piece of metal, bent into proper shape, with nip- per ends for grasping the lump of sugar. In contour and decoration ...they resembled the other characteristic pieces of contemporary date. Cake Baskets were made late in the eighteenth cen- tury and continued in favour during the succeeding period. They corresponded with the general style of the other contemporary silver and were usually fretted and also elaborately chased or engraved. In shape they were usually round or oval with a handle in the manner of a basket and ordinarily stood on a slightly raised base. In some cases they were designed with a raised base or pedestal but lacked the handle.
