Sugar nipper - a curiosity. It is an 18th and early 19th century kitchen tool that was used to chip small pieces of sugar from the sugar cone. In these times sugar was made by pressing raw sugar with molasses in a cone shape and dried. This sugar became hard and small pieces had to be chipped for sweetening the tea. The table nipper was made of silver and the sturdy kitchen one - seen here - existed in many models.
