History:
A peck is an imperial and United States dry volume measure.
It equates to 2 dry gallons or 8 dry quarts or 16 dry pints.
An imperial peck is equivalent to 9.09 liters and a US peck is equivalent to 8.81 liters.
Two pecks make a kenning, and four pecks make a bushel.
Some of us will recall the old nursery rhyme "Peter Piper" (picked a peck...)
The other reference most widely known, in the Bible Matthew 5:15 there is reference to a bushel (four pecks)

These pots make an excellent display for kitchen utensils, paint brushes or dried flowers.
