Brass Montgomery Jigger

Hourglass cup with ringed steps and a monogram near the rim.

This silver-plated brass Montgomery jigger from the Ralph Lauren RL-City Modern line is by Ralph Lauren. Silver plating is a thin layer of silver applied over a base metal such as brass, which gives the look of silver at a more modest weight. Double-ended measure shaped like an hourglass, with a wide flared cup on top and a smaller cup below, each marked with stepped ridges. A small engraved monogram sits inside the rim. The surface is bright and mirror smooth. It is 2.75 inches high and 2.25 in diameter.

Precise in shape and very good at its one job.
