Our family of Italian pewter beakers, available in five sizes, is cast from original antiques. This particular size is perfect for holding a bouquet of flowers or kitchen utensils, and it comes with a fascinating backstory. Historically, beakers of this type were used by shopkeepers to measure items like flour or oil. Periodically, an inspector would visit to ensure the shopkeeper wasn't cheating customers by using beakers with false bottoms. If the beaker passed inspection, it was stamped to prove it was a true measure, adding a layer of authenticity and history to your home decor.
