Characterful Victorian publican’s copper measure of bellied form with rolled foot, curved handle and flared pouring lip, clearly capacity-stamped “2 GALLON” and bearing a Crown VR verification punch to the underside for excise-approved trade use.

The surface shows warm, even patina with polishing marks, shallow dings, small solder flecks and age-darkening around seams—honest working wear that suits the piece. A superb decorative for bar or kitchen styling and a fine bit of Scottish pub history; equally good pressed into service as a tall vase or sculptural accent.
