Medieval Measuring Beaker - 6 cm - 5 cl - Handcrafted in Italy - Pewter
This cute pewter measuring beaker is the smallest in a set of five and is handcrafted by Italian pewterers. It is the perfect addition to a busy kitchen.
Our family of beakers, are cast from original antiques with a interesting back-story. These were historically used by shopkeepers to measure flour, sugar or oil etc. Periodically a weights and measures inspector would visit to ensure the shopkeeper wasn’t cheating by using beakers with false bottoms to 'short-change' the customers. If the beaker passed inspection, it was stamped to prove it was a true measure.
These pretty and practical vessels could also be used on the bar to hold cocktail sticks or in the bathroom to hold cotton buds...
