Anotations

Scope note:

Casters intended primarily for serving table sugar, usually of baluster or cylindrical shape with a pierced domed cover, which was sometimes screwed to the container. Used especially for such vessels that were historically used as part of a set at table. For larger vessels used for sprinkling table sugar or powdered sugar in the kitchen, as opposed to at table, use "sugar shakers." For larger vessels having a wide spout or opening used for pouring sugar, use "sugar dispensers."
