Produced during the second year of the First World War, this George V sugar sifter is a testament to the resilience of British craftsmanship during a period of total war. Hallmarked for Birmingham in 1915, the piece features a tapered glass body with star-cut detailing, paired with a sterling silver pierced cover by the esteemed William Hutton & Sons Ltd. At a time when the silver industry was being requisitioned for the war effort, this sifter represents the final flourish of pre-war luxury. The silver mounts are crisp and well-preserved, bearing the definitive maker's mark and the "q" date letter for 1915.
