Arthur Court Grape 3-Piece Sugar/Creamer Set
This magnificent sugar-and-creamer is a classy accent to any formal table setting and a lovely accessory with which to highlight other pieces in the Arthur Court grape serveware collection. The brilliant luster of the creamer, sugar bowl, and sugar spoon's handle captures the elegance of antique silver but is actually made of hand-polished aluminum, which is much easier for today's busy hostesses to maintain. The design features bunches of grapes with leaves in bas-relief on the sugar bowl lid and either side of the bowl and creamer. Vines wind their way along each piece's base and mouth and form the handles. The sugar spoon also has a cluster of grapes at the end of its handle but is otherwise made of stainless steel to avoid staining or pitting from the sugar. Because each piece is crafted by hand, there are variations in each one that make it unique. This aluminum serveware is not dishwasher-safe but cleans easily with mild soap and water. This set makes a wonderful shower gift for the bride who has registered for other pieces in the grape collection. As Arthur and Elena Court, owners of Arthur Court Designs, are avid conservationists, a percentage of all proceeds of their products go directly to wildlife preservation and environmental research and education projects.--Cristina Vaamonde
