Vintage 19th Century English Copper Haystack Measures
Product Description
Once found behind the counters of English inns and public houses, these 19th century copper haystack measures recall a time when ale and cider were poured with ritual and precision. Graduated from one eighth gill to a full gallon, each vessel served its purpose in the calibrated pouring of spirits for discerning patrons. Forged in the 1860s using dovetail construction, the craftsmanship is evident in every detail. The copper has developed a rich and mottled patina over time, a warm testament to its years of use and care. Each measure is fitted with a lead verification plug, stamped by a local authority, affirming its role as an officially sanctioned standard of liquid measure.Product Details
