Historical information

Vintage glass measuring jugs became common in kitchens from the early 20th century, with brands like Pyrex. Early Pyrex jugs featured raised glass measurements, later replaced by printed red markings, transforming them into the familiar kitchen staples we know today. A gill is 1/4 of a pint.
