<p>[QUOTE="Historic milk glass, post: 1994306, member: 14707"]Just noticed something very odd, there’s a tooling mark/depression in the top of the handle. That detail showing is indicative of a missing hinged pewter lid; the dimple was made in order to prevent the pewter ring from movement. Moreover, that piece is appears as if it most likely would have had a glass lid if at all anything? It’s diminutive size lends itself to being more for sweet meats than a sugar bowl but it could have been used for anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
