An interesting, finely turned hardwood piece with two smooth bowls with a delicate spool between them. Each bowl is intended to measure a specific quantity of liquid or powder.

The piece has wonderful patina and is very tactile. The fineness of the turning has resulted in longitudinal cracks in the larger bowl.

Height: 4”; Diameters of bowls: 1 ¾”; 2 ¼”

English, ca. 1850

Price: $125
