What matters when shipping sugar bowls

Glass and crystal sugar bowls are breakable and need good packing, and they can travel with tea glasses and trays in one well-packed parcel; copper ones weigh more but are less likely to break.

Material and sets

Many sugar bowls are sold within a tea set with glasses and saucers, so compare the set price with the bowl alone. A well-fitting lid protects sugar from humidity and ants, and glass shows how much sugar is left.

Material and shape

A tea sugar bowl is made of porcelain, glass, stainless steel or silver plate, and a tight lid prevents the sugar clumping in humidity. Choose a capacity that suits the number of guests (200 to 500 ml), and see whether a spoon is included and the opening lets the small spoon in without spilling.

Matching the tea set

If you buy it with a tea set, make sure the colour and pattern match between the sugar bowl, teapot and cups, because a difference in the shade of gold or white shows clearly when serving. Gilded porcelain does not go in the microwave and is not washed with a rough sponge.

Lid and breakage

The lid is the weakest part of a sugar bowl and the most likely to break in shipping, so ask for it to be wrapped separately from the bowl in bubble wrap, and put the bowl in a small carton inside the larger carton. If it is a gift keep its original box.
