Georgian Sterling Silver Bright Cut Sugar Tongs - London Late 1700's

Superb 'Bright Cut' Sterling Silver Sugar Tongs. There is a Makers Mark but no Town or Date Marks. The LION PASSANT Silver Mark stamped on this piece was used from 1598 to 1820 so we know they are Georgian Period....either George II or Early George III. The Silversmith mark is for GEORGE SMITH The 3rd who was active in the late 1700's. They are 5 1/4" in length with a weight of 29.19 grams
