This form of spirit measures was first made by Alphonse Roger of Guernsey inspired by the form of local milk churns. They were originally made in for the tourist trade but their novelty saw their production spread beyond the Channel Islands. This has a 1 gill capacity, a gentleman’s measure and by definition a true noggin!

A perfect gift for the man with everything.
