Glasgow - A rare Scottish provincial blind casterJames Glen, marked IG, Glasgow town mark, IG, S, the body of baluster form with original engraved initial, raised on a short stem and spreading foot, the pull off cover with spiralled gadrooning with intertwined engraved banding and urn finialHeight: 15.5cm, weight: 7.05ozNotes:Of a typical form this caster is unusual in its form as a 'blind' caster. Taking its name from the un-pierced nature of the domed cover these casters are rarely found in Scottish silver. This is not surprising considering that casters were not necessarily commissioned in sets of three or more, and more usually found surviving in pairs (although could obviously have been split). Although more perhaps exist but not recorded within group listings or had originally not been fully catalogued with enough details to determine blind or otherwise, it is interesting to note that 'The Compendium of Scottish Silver' lists only five examples between 1706 and 1770.

Of this, the earlier type, and the more elaborate cast and chased examples, a high proportion appear to be by Glasgow makers. There appears no simple explanation for this however the exotic imports into Glasgow dockyards may have inspired the silversmiths in the area to design and make strainers as exposure to exotic fruits and spirits making the consumption of fruit punches more common in Glasgow and the West
