Description
Long ago, a "sugar nipper" was used to pinch off a chunk from a sugar loaf to sweeten tea. This tedious ritual forced otherwise refined tea-drinkers to fish the lump from their cup after partially dissolved.
An exasperated Austrian woman beseeched her husband to devise a single serving sugar. In 1843, the Swiss-born owner of a beet sugar refinery employed women to crank out 10 tons of cubes a day- much to Vienna's delight. Perched upon the saucer, iced flowers sweeten both tea and conversation.

Better than expected
Ordered these for my church group's Annual Ladies Tea. These are so pretty as well as being unique. Hope they are available every year! These will definitely add a wow factor to my table decorations.

Perfect touch!!!
Could anything be more precious!?!?! Regular sized sugar cubes but that is where the common ends. So beautiful and each one is unique and exquisite! For an old fashioned tea nothing could be more perfect or special! I am never disappointed with anything I get from Victorian Trading Company. Their pictures and descriptions are spot on and their service is fabulous!

Charms guests
They are charming on a table and delicious in a cup of tea. I ordered the sugar cubes, forgot that ordered them and ordered again. Then I had double - but no problem. I can use them for many upcoming spring celebrations. People seemed to delight in the little sugars and flowers.
