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.
