Up until the middle of the 17th Century, sugar was kept in sugar boxes, the precursor to the more commonly known sugar bowl. However during the 1660’s sugar became much more widely used in the making of foods and also started to be shaken over foods to sweeten them. With this use in mind the first casters, intended for sugar and not pepper, were produced in England. Early examples are rare and highly sought after, as are sets of casters, and interesting designs.
