"Measure Of 2 Liters, In Pewter. 19th Century."
Measure of 2 Liters, in pewter. Hallmark of ALEXANDER, pewter potter in PARIS 1869-1895. Official hallmark in use from 1861 to 1873. 4 letter-date hallmarks of the annual control of the service of weights and measures, attest a brief employment in a grocery store or a drinking establishment. It seems useful to us to remember that a series of measurements in tin of the metric system consists of 7 measurements, from the centiliter to the liter. The double-liter was sold as an option. Few were made. This is why it is more rarely encountered than the other measures. Height: 24 cm. Very good condition. Clear satin patina. Free shipping by COLISSIMO for mainland France.
