A quick update concerning the Mt Washington Colonial Ware sugar shaker. When I posted the pictures the other day I had not yet received the shaker. I was concerned about a couple of things that I could not confirm either way until I received it.

When it was pointed out to me as to where to find other items in this type of class I saw the sugar and creamer. It hit me that the creamer looked like the same piece as the sugar shakers but a different top. That concerned me as to if it started out in life as a sugar shaker or creamer. Due to the fact Ive never seen one of these before but that does not mean Im the final word on it for sure.

The next point was that Mt Washington does not typically use tops like the one on the shaker. Typically they are very fancy tops and they are 2 piece!
So the question came to mind, was the neck of the piece threaded? Or was the lid just forced on to the piece.

I received the shaker today and I found that the somewhat ordinary sugar shaker top is a 2 piece top and it appears to be either silver or silverplate.

So I feel the piece is right but I sure was wondering there for a few days!
