Scottish Copper 1 Pint Measure Jug – Crown GR6 Glasgow – Early 20th Century

Description

A fine and authentic Scottish copper 1 pint licensed measure jug, likely dating from the early 20th century, with a clear Crown GR 6 verification stamp indicating inspection under King George V or VI (c. 1910–1952).

This piece comes from a family grocers in Oban, Argyll, which blended and retailed its own whisky from the Victorian period through to the 1950s — a practice once common across Scotland before commercial bottling by large distillers became the norm.

The Crown GR6 stamp confirms official trade use in Scotland, and the elegant script engraving suggests manufacture in the late Victorian/Edwardian to early 20th century, with later re-verification. This type of copper measure was standard in pubs, grocers, and distilleries — few survive with such clear marks and provenance.

Ideal for:

Breweriana / pub memorabilia collectors

Whisky enthusiasts

Interior décor with a historical touch

Gifts for collectors of Scottish trade and distilling history
