I lived in Britain for over 25 years, and never saw British cups used as a measure.

A recipe given in ounces and pints might be using Imperial or US ounces and pints, but a recipe in cups is American.

(It can matter when something is in another unit, like "4 eggs".)

They're extraordinarily rare in recipes for sure, basically only in old ones.

But if you buy a 'cups' measure it ~never says which of the four it is, and it may well be there old Imperial size. (I have one. Was a popular one on Amazon, nothing obscure.)
