Add a distinctive piece of vintage club tableware to your collection with this Reed & Barton Scranton Club open sugar bowl. The underside is stamped “REED & BARTON,” “SILVER SOLDERED,” “353,” “9 OZ,” and “SCRANTON CLUB,” giving this small serving piece an identifiable connection to its original club service.
The squat, rounded body features two substantial loop handles, a raised foot, and a decorative band of scrolling leaf motifs around its center. Additional raised decoration accents the tops of the handles. Dark tarnish contrasts with brighter areas along the rim, handles, decorative band, and base, emphasizing the bowl’s detailed design.
Measuring approximately 5.5 inches across the handles, 3.5 inches front to back, and 2.5 inches tall, the bowl has an interior depth of approximately 2⅛ inches. Its compact proportions make it an appealing display piece for collectors of Reed & Barton hollowware, hotel silver, club memorabilia, and Pennsylvania collectibles.
Display this Scranton Club sugar bowl alongside vintage tea service pieces or feature it individually in a cabinet of historic tableware. The stamped underside adds interest, while the worn surface reflects its age and previous use.
