Help with Daniel Low, What is this?

Postby darmy » Thu Sep 17, 2009 1:15 pm

With much searching and the help of this website I was finally able to identify the mark on this piece. What I am now hoping is that someone can tell me what this piece is? I find is very interesting and like it alot but I just don't know what it is.

It's a sugar cube rack/tray/caddy/holder, have seen them on occasion with matching tongs. They make handy buffet racks for square crackers too.

By the way, your maker appears to be Lunt (Rogers, Lunt & Bowlen), hard to tell from the angle of your picture, but might be meant to coordinate with their pierced Chippendale pattern, introduced in 1910.
