      Have you ever wondered why Victorian pattern glass sugar bowls are so large? Indeed, because of their size many pattern glass sugar bowls are displayed in antiques markets as “candy dishes”.
       Before the refining process was perfected, it was not possible to produce sugar in granules because the high moisture content caused the crystals to clump together. And so sugar in the early Victorian home was in the form of loaves or blocks which had to be broken up for use. Our Great - Great - Great Grandmas had to shave off the amount of sugar they needed.... and a large container was required to hold the rest of the block.  If the sugar was not already white, she had to clarify it for recipes.  Never mind what a chore that was; just be glad you always have white sugar available now.
       Sugar was also very expensive. In the 1850s, when the average annual wage of persons employed in manufacturing was $247, flour was 5 Ç per pound, & white sugar was 7 - 9 Ç per pound.
       By the 1880s when the sugar beet replaced sugar cane as the main source of this cooking confection, and refining became more widespread, we begin to see some sugar bowls become smaller. To get a feel for how large they were in the early Victorian period, go HERE and look at our selection of flint sugar bowls from the 1850s & 60s.
