FAQs

Sugar casters, also known as sugar dredgers, emerged in the late 17th century when sugar was an expensive commodity purchased in large cones and shaved or grated for use at the table.

Traditional sugar casters are predominantly made from sterling silver, often featuring hand-pierced or engraved lids, baluster bodies, and raised footed bases crafted by silversmiths.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks for the assay office, makers mark, standard mark, and date letter, alongside observing period-appropriate manufacturing techniques like hand-piercing on the lid.

An antique silver sugar caster can be displayed on a sideboard, dining table centrepiece, or within a glass-fronted cabinet to add reflective metallic texture and historical interest to contemporary spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip historical patination.
