Au Improvement in or Applicable to Sugar Basins and the like.
I JOHN ROTHWELL, of 32 China Lane, Hilton Street, Piccadilly, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, l'acking-Case Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This improvement is applicable to sugar basins and the like, made of glass,
earthenware, or metal and the object of the invention is to provide means for
supporting the sugar-tongs or spoon therein and to prevent their liability to fall
off, or out of, the basin."
The improvement consists in the combination with a sugar basin or the like
of a tubular or other suitably shaped receptacle to hold the said sugar tongs
or spoon which receptacle may be made of the same material as the basin or of
a different material as may be desired. When made of the same material the
receptacle may be formed at one operation with the basin itself or it may be
attached thereto in any suitable manner either during or after manufacture.
For ordinary purposes I find a vertical tubular receptacle standing up from the
centre of the bottom a convenient and suitable form but the exact form and
situation of the receptacle may be varied according to taste.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in or Applicable to Sugar Basins and the like.
I JOHN ROTHWELL, of 32 China Lane,. Hilton Street, Piccadilly, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Packing-Case Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This improvement is applicable to sugar basins, salt cellars and the like made
either wholly or partially of glass, earthenware, metal or other suitable material,
an the object of the invention is to provide means for supporting the sugar-tongs

my invention to a sugar basin made of glass, Fig. 1 being a sectional elevation,
and Fig. 2 a plan view of the same.

page_text: receptacle may be made of the same material as the basin as shown on the drawing,
or of a different material as may be desired. When made of the same material
the receptacle may be formed at one operation with the basin itself or it may be
attached thereto in any suitable manner either during or after manufacture, and
it may be made removable if preferred.
For ordinary purposes I find a vertical tubular receptacle standing up from
the centre of the bottom (as shown) a convenient and suitable form but the exact
form and situation of the receptacle may be varied according to taste.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The combination with a sugar basin, salt-cellar, or the like, of a tubular or
other suitably shaped receptacle for the sugar tongs, spoon, or other like instru-
ment for serving or distributing the contents, substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated by the drawing annexed.
