DescriptionThis is an enamelled measuring jar. It features a cylindrical shape with a spout and handle, made of metal coated in cream-white enamel, with the rim, spout, and handle painted in light green.
Inside the jar, there are two light-green scales: one in ounces ranging from 2 to 40, and one in grams from 100 to 1000. Between the two, at the same height as the 40 oz mark, there is a marking for 2 pints.

Damage is visible on the rim, as it appears chipped.

On the bottom, embossed is the marking "Kockums Sweden" and "12 cm".
