Our family of beakers, are cast from original antiques with a wonderful back-story. These were historically used by shopkeepers to measuring items like flour or oil. Periodically an inspector would visit to make sure the shopkeeper wasn’t cheating the customers by using beakers with false bottoms; if the beaker passed inspection, it was stamped to prove it was a true measure.
This particular size is perfect for cocktail picks on a bar or cotton swabs in a bath.
