1800s Giant English Hammered Copper Georgian 5 Gallon Haystack Jug or Pitcher
About the Item
Enormous late 18th to early 19th century Georgian copper 5 gallon haystack jug or pitcher, massive tapered body with a large handle. Copper haystack measures, named for their haystack pitcher shape were first used in England in the 18th century to measure ale, cider and other spirits in pubs.
They range in size from 1/2 pint to 5 gallons, and always have the size stamped on the pitcher. Periodically, a local official would inspect each establishment to check that the measures were correct, and he would use a lead seal (see picture nr 10) to stamp the rim with the date, number and crown if it was correct.
Inside the collar you see a King George stamp. The wide rims suggests that this is an early example.
These haystack measures are very collectable, and the larger ones like this one are relatively rare.
Now this would make a great decorative eye catcher on a kitchen or hall table, with or without flowers.
