This is my real ice bucket

Tenterfield Saddler

That's a big red tooth pick holder.  

hmmm

Got me confused now, as to sizing.

Sugar nips and ice tongs are about, um

4 inches/ 10cm ? long. so not very big.

I've noticed the men in my family haven't a clue

on how to use any tongs at all.  They hold them

so awkwardly-kinda like using a pen -  stupid men

Hand underneath, not on top

for big teeth!

LOL

Stawks, those little sil;ver tongs in my pic are 17cm long

Then at 17cm, they are way too big for sugar or ice tongs

Sorry to burst ya balloon

*sobs*

but they use similar for silver service at the Hotel

*pleads*

but apologies

so nope - no fancy sugar tongs here - well no sugar tongs I spose, but I do have some really small tongs that look like those regular tongs - but they're useless! (though I did see some with red bits on them at the kitchen store the other day, so they would definitely be better)

Ok.  Maybe they are sugar tongs.           

These look very similar, but are only 10cm

So we're both right

I specifically looked for some to buy today, and no one had any!

They must be really posh things, eh?

and no, it makes sense that sugar tongs would be smaller

plus those tongs have grippy things, mine don't

 I think they're more vintage - more civilised times?

Seems to be quite a few listed on here though
