Description:
A good one pint measure, by John Foster of London, England who worked 1789 - 1837.
The measure has straight sided body and stands on a stepped foot. The handle has a U shaped escutcheon at the top where it joins the body and a flattened terminal at the lower end. The inner base is clearly marked with the makers Touch mark. There is a well marked George IV verification below the rim. Foster worked at 202 Kent Street, The Borough, Southwark, Newington, Surrey from 1806, so along with the verification we can date this measure to the period 1806 - 1830.
