Pepper casters are usually of baluster or cylindrical shape, often of silver, other precious material, or porcelain; they have a finely pierced domed cover which was sometimes screwed to the container. They were often part of a set of casters that was positioned upon a special tray at table. For similar items used to sprinkle pepper, but forming one of a set of only two with a saltshaker, particularly in modern usage and when made of more modest materials and intended for daily use in a household or restaurant, use "pepper shakers"; however, usage overlaps. ]]></note></mads>
