AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful and rare set of historical metal measuring cups, a tangible piece of artisanal and commercial history. These robust measuring cups were used for precisely measuring liquids and dry goods, and today they exude an irresistible industrial charm.

The set consists of multiple sizes, clearly marked with original inscriptions such as 1 deciliter and 2 deciliters. What stands out are the many official calibration and quality marks around the rims, indicating intensive use and inspection over the years. The natural patina, oxidation, and signs of use give each piece a unique and authentic character that is highly valued by collectors.

For one item, the edge is partly loose, which is visible in the photos and entirely consistent with the age and use of these objects. This does not detract from the decorative or collectible value, but rather underscores their historical authenticity.

Ideal for collectors of antique measuring tools, lovers of industrial design, or as stylish decorative objects in a kitchen, store interior, or display cabinet.

Dimensions
Height 9-9-7-7.5-5 cm
