Antique 19thC Copper Double Ended Measuring Spoon Small 9cm Apothecary Gold Dust Weight Spoon 8g

A beautiful, rare antique double-ended miniature measuring spoon.

This authentic piece weighs exactly 8 grams and measures 9 cm in total length, featuring a wider bowl with a maximum diameter of 3.1 cm.

Crafted from heavy-gauge copper, it displays a stunning hand-forged aesthetic.

Folded Handle Construction. A fascinating detail of this spoon is the reverse side of the handle, which appears tightly folded or seamed down the spine.

This authentic, primitive metalworking technique adds incredible character and structure.

Dual-Ended Bowls: Designed with a larger spoon head at one end and a smaller spoon head at the opposite end.

Historical Significance: While it mirrors the classic shape of a 19th-century European apothecary or kitchen scale spoon, its exceptionally lightweight 8-gram design and small form factor strongly resemble the highly collectible antique gold dust spoons used in historical regional trade.

Excellent antique condition with a genuine, naturally aged patina. The metal shows honest, charming surface irregularities from the primitive hand-forging process.

No major cracks or structural damage. Please view all photos to fully appreciate the craftsmanship and wear.
