Rare Bronze "Standard Bushel" Measure

19th century
Description

A rare, heavy and wonderful quality mid-19th century BRONZE BUSHEL MEASURE.

Constructed of cast bronze, with turned ebony and cast handles, these measures were used by Customs and Excise to check that traders were not under-selling their customers.

It is engraved: "Standard Bushel" and also: "Potter London" who were the makers. Also impressed around the rim are various excise proof marks, which ensured the measure was accurate. One of these is either for 1835 or 1855. *Ideal as a rather special Wine Cooler, or perhaps to display flowers. 19.5ins diameter and very heavy.

Declaration

Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 1800s.
