About the Item

This elegant piece is a fine example of American craftsmanship from the renowned Hawkes Glass Company of Corning, New York, known for their superb cut crystal and sterling silver mountings during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The body is crafted from brilliant crystal, cut in deep vertical flutes that catch and reflect the light beautifully. It rests on a un-weighted sterling silver pedestal base, which is delicately engraved with an ornate monogram, adding a personalized and historic touch. The tall, tapering form is crowned with a pierced sterling silver cover, finished with a decorative finial. The cover’s precision piercing was designed for dispensing fine sugar, making this a sugar caster (or muffineer)—an essential item in refined dining and tea service of the period. Hawkes pieces are celebrated for their clarity of crystal, precision cutting, and elegant balance when combined with sterling silver by leading silversmiths of the era. This example showcases both the company’s artistry and the luxurious domestic traditions of early 20th-century America.
