In the late 19th century into the early 1900s, table settings were very elaborate. Fanciful sugar dishes, such as this one, were part of table displays, sitting next to elaborate gravy boats and decorative napkin rings, novelty toast racks, cruets, menu holders, knife rests, and even table bells. Sports themes such as golf, cricket, polo, and hunting were popular thematic styles.
