Stylistically, this sugarbowl resembles examples made in England and America, 1825-1845, though its use of colorless lead glass, the rare applied cobalt blue finial and rim, the lack of wear on the lid and rim and the suspiciously tidy, even ring of wear on the base suggest that it might be a twentieth-century fake.
