Label copy

Sugar found its way into many desserts, including pies, rich custards and puddings made with cream and eggs, and ice cream, which was quite a novelty in the 1700s. Used to cut and seal the dough of pie crusts, pie crimpers were carved from marine ivory by sailors on whaling ships. The names of the makers of these wares, especially the men of color, are, unfortunately, often unknown.
