Vintage sugar tongs, also known as bird claw tongs, are crafted in the arts and crafts style with antique silver plating. Made in the United Kingdom, these tongs are a charming addition to any collection of silverware. Perfect for adding a touch of vintage elegance to your dining experience. There are no markings on these tongs, but I'm assuming that they are silver plated. Perfect for sweets, petit fours or ice cubes.
