A RARE PEWTER OEWS QUART TRIPLE-DOME LIDDED WINE MEASURE, EDINBURGH, CIRCA 1820. The baluster body engraved 'Wine Company in Scotland', with spout, single-curve handle with spade thumbpiece and lower strut attachment, apparently unmarked, height 22cm
Literature: A similar example Illustrated Peter Spencer Davis, 'Scottish Pewter 1600-1850' (2014), p. 217. fig. 8.36. The author notes this rare type of Scottish measure is made only by William Scott III & IV and is something of an enigma - it is likely they were made only for special commissions, possibly for use in an Edinburgh private members' club.
