It has measurements on the side that go to 12 cups, but there's no way it would hold 12 cups. I'm wondering whether it's used to measure amount of powder or ingredient to mix with up to 12 cups of water / liquid?
I have NO idea
TIA

psssst Kopes..........that's an American cup.
An Aussie cup is 250 ml
Looks like some kind of cereal box to me

I thought it looked like one of those jobbies that go into the feeder of a food processor to push the food down

Sorry, measirments are:
height approx 11 cm
width at widest poitn about 5.7 cm
length approx 8.8 cm
The lid comes off but doesnt seal
it's made of plastic but not dtrong enough to use as a pusher.
So on the side the markings show that it holds 12 cups, but the 12 cup mark is only just over 1 cup (just measure it). hence my thinking that it must measure something that goes into 12 cups of liquid of some sort.
Thank to all for your replies. Still hoping to hit the jackpot!
At the same marker as the 12 cups it also says 96 g.

Odd to say the least.
96 grams is 3/4 cup of dry ingredients
edit: How about it's marked 1 - 2 cups, not 12 cups?

11cm is only 4½ inches in the old language. Makes it small
I think it must be 1 - 2 cups.
Shoulda gone to spec savers?

Thanks stawks, no it's definitely 12 cups. Goes up in increments of 2, starting at 2 cups, which is only 1 cm above the inside base. I think you 3/4 cup measuremnt might be pertinent, but how, I have no idea!

Perhaps this is intended to hold coffee (ground or whole beans).
I will admit that this suggestion is influenced by my abiding and deep love for freshly ground coffee.
