I have three small measuring glasses that I found in antique stores. The smallest one may be little smaller than a shot glass and the other two are not a lot bigger. Each measures have 4 teaspoons equal 1 Tablespoon. Does anyone know if a teaspoon size at some time in the past changed from 4 to 3 or are/do these measurements have some other application?
