About the Item

A set of 5 antique "pot" copper measuring jugs, with tin-lined interiors for safe use. Each jug is dated 1878 and stamped with three marks: The Copenhagen city mark (two towers), An official verification mark ("C5") certifying volume accuracy, And the production year "1878" in an oval frame. At that time, such items were strictly regulated to ensure honest trade; customers were guaranteed the correct quantities of mead, beer, and other goods. This set consists of copper measuring jugs in the traditional Danish sizes of 2 pot, 1 pot, ½ pot, 1 pægle, and ½ pægle, reflecting historical volume standards before the introduction of the metric system. One "pot" (an old Danish unit of volume) equals approximately 0.9681 liters (roughly 1 US quart). One pot was divided into 4 "pægle" (smaller measures), and 2 pots made up one "kande" (jug). When Denmark adopted the metric system in 1907, the traditional "pot" unit was officially discontinued. Dimensions: 2 pot: 22.5 cm (H) × 11.5 cm (W) × 17 cm (D) 1 pot: 17.5 cm (H) × 9.5 cm (W) × 13.5 cm (D) ½ pot: 14 cm (H) × 7.5 cm (W) × 11.5 cm (D) 1 pægle: 11.5 cm (H) × 5 cm (W) × 9 cm (D) ½ pægle: 9.5 cm (H) × 4.5 cm (W) × 8.5 cm (D)
