What volume does the stopper/s hold, say to 1 cm from the top. That would indicate whether it was intended as a measure

The stoppers do not make comfortable glasses. The rims are too thick.

But they could be used for pouring into a glass

 :P

Just tried that, with 3 different stoppers.

They do not pour at all well!
The water ended up everywhere. Each of them is a different thickness - the first one I looked at when I said the rims were too thick was the thinnest. (thicknesses of 3mm, 4mm and 7mm)

The 3 stoppers also hold different amounts.

Interestingly, two of them have polished flat tops of the stoppers, the thinnest rimmed one is not polished, but has a hot-glass marvered look of concentric rings.
