The thimble measure is a stainless steel vessel, like a shot glass, either with predefined measuring lines etched or stamped into the sides, or else pre-sized so that pouring up to the brim of the measure yields the correct volume. This second variation is commonly seen in a double-thimble or "hourglass" form, with two metal cups of different volumes (often in a 3:2 or 2:1 ratio, like a U.S. standard 1.5 fl oz "jigger" and 1 fl oz "pony", or UK standard 25/50mL or 35/70mL combos) spot-welded to each other at their relative bottom surfaces, possibly with a handle between them, allowing one unit to easily measure two common volumes. Thimble measures are popular for home use, as they allow a relatively untrained person to pour quickly and accurately from several bottles without risking cross-contamination between them, or requiring the purchase, use and cleaning of a pour spout for each bottle as would be seen in a professional bar.
