Lovely Chicken Feet Sugar Tongs Vintage Tongs Silver 925 Sterling Silver 925 England - size: 75 x 25 x 13 mm Weight : 35 gr Story of Sugar Tangs: Sugar tongs were initially based on fire tongs, having slender arms and curved ends. Early sugar nips/tongs of the late 17th century were even formed after miniature fire andirons. In order to make them spring suitably for their purpose, their ends were heated and hammered many times to give them sufficient tension.
