Copper Measuring Cups

I have a set of these heavy copper measuring cups with brass handles and I love them. You can melt butter on the stove and they stand up to the high heat without warping. One thing puzzles me though. There is no 1/3 cup. The set of 4 includes 1 cup, 3/4 cup, 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup. Mine are hanging on the side wall of a cabinet and I use them all the time....except when I need 1/3 cup of something. via

Perhaps the maker had a thing for even numbers (all sizes can be evenly divided by 2), or might it have been that the 1/3 cup size would not have fit well when all stacked together?

That must be the reason. I hadn't thought of that possibility.

They are available used on eBay. I googled copper measuring cups with brass handles and several sets came up. I got mine used (of course). I forgot to mention they are tin lined.

Good luck, Rosemary
