<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 552047, member: 111&quot;]These silver and silverplate sugar cube trays, along with similar pierced tableware, were very popular in the 1910s-20s, can&#039;t recall seeing the sugar trays in catalogs or ads prior to 1910, though it&#039;s certainly possible - sugar cubes were usually just presented in sugar bowls, served with tongs.&nbsp; There was a huge marketing campaign for the American Sugar Refining Company&#039;s domino-shape sugar cubes in the early 20th century, the Havemeyer family eventually used the &#039;Domino&#039; name for their granulated sugar too, and at some point changed the company name to Domino - perhaps this was the impetus for the creation of these pieces (Mom has one too, usually used for the fairly small Wheat Thin crackers - too fussy for me).</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1907 Domino sugar ad:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]170056[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
