A very ornate but rather rare piece that is no longer popular. Grape Sheers were used to cut the stems when serving grapes. Most measure 6 -7 inches long. (Repousse by Kirk Stieff)
Have you ever seen sugar nippers or other device for cutting a sugar loaf in the various patterns? I know the Victorians were the first to get their sugar granulated, but am sure some must have preferred the old sugar loafs. I think these are more like scissors. Come to think of it, am wondering why there are no egg scissors in these patterns.
No, to answer your question, I have never seen sugar nippers or egg scissors in any sterling patterns. You do, however, occasionally find manicure scissors in some of the sterling patterns.
