Stunning Antique Victorian 2-Gallon Copper Haystack Measure

An absolute showstopper of a piece!

This is an authentic, 19th-century English/Irish copper "haystack" harvest jug (ale or cider measure) with a massive 2-gallon capacity.

Features:

• Official Lead Verification Seal: The interior rim features a crisp, legible Queen Victoria Royal Cypher stamp (Crown over "VR"), along with regional inspector marks and a distinct fill line.

• Rare Large Size: Stamped "2 GALLON" on the belly. Finding these large commercial tavern measures in this condition is incredibly rare!

• 100% Authentic Construction: Features gorgeous hand-hammered planishing dimples on the base and a heavy-duty, hollow copper handle secured with chunky hand-struck rivets.

• Condition: Excellent antique condition. It has been beautifully polished on the outside to showcase its rich, warm glow, but retains its wonderful natural patina and character on the base. Structurally solid, sits completely flat.

Perfect as a high-end statement piece for a rustic kitchen, pub decor, fireplace hearth, or for serious collectors of antique metalware and kitchenalia.

Measurements: 32.5 cm tall.
Will be packed with extreme care and shipped securely.
