At least that's how I thought of it....
I can remember watching her measure sugar with a cup like this so many times for Sweet Tea, Lemon Meringue Pies and Pear or Peach Cobblers.
She was the best cook, a great nurse, once caught a 25 lb catfish out of the pond, and so much more...
I wish my kids could have known her.
I'd love it if you would share some of your memories, too.

Oh gracious... My Grandma used to do that same thing!! How funny!!
I don't think she even owned a proper set of "measuring cups".
Even so, I've never eaten a Lemon Meringue Pie that even came close to rivaling hers!
I am the proud recipient of Grandma's sugar bowl. It's about the size of a cup, but with a lid. The sugar was normally stained with coffee, so some sugar was white and some was more caramel in appearance. Grandma's cracked sugar bowl has a nice place of prominence in the corner china cabinet.
I have a few other kitchen pieces that were Grandma's. :)
My Mom still has this cup. Someone somewhere has the yellow and green ones that I remember better than this red one. Hope they are appreciated.
Sounds like you have a real treasure! :D
