Its compact pedestal form and utilitarian function make it an ideal gift for the collector or someone in a healing profession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the 1940s and early 1950s, British pharmacies were working across more than one measuring system: the British Pharmacopoeia had adopted milliliters in 1932, while fluid ounces, drams, and minims remained in everyday dispensing. A metric-only 50 ml glass like this was likely kept alongside separate Imperial measures, selected according to the prescription or formula being prepared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 5-1\/4” high x 2-1\/4” (base) x 2-1\/16” (bowl opening, including spout)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 4.3 ounces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition notes: Excellent vintage condition overall with no discernible chips, cracks, or clouding. Glass remains clear and bright, with hand-engraved numbers and graduations crisp and fully legible. A few tiny trapped bubbles and inclusions are visible along sides, consistent with period manufacture. Small enclosed inclusion within base is also original to manufacture and sits beneath surface. Bowl is slightly irregular in shape, consistent with hand-forming. Jug sits solidly on flat surface with no wobble.  Other items in photos not included. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnless noted, all items are hand-wrapped and gift-boxed.
