Vintage Apothecary Weights in Wooden Case – A Small World of Measure and Balance
Once, these small metal weights rested behind a shop counter or in an apothecary drawer, brought out whenever something precious needed to be measured with care — a spoon of herbs, a portion of spices, a bit of medicine, or a customer’s carefully chosen purchase. Each weight carried its own responsibility, ensuring balance, fairness, and accuracy in a world where hands and scales mattered.
A charming vintage balance weight set consisting of 8 original metal weights stored in their original rectangular wooden box. Traditionally used with a balance scale for precise measuring in shops, pharmacies, and home kitchens, this set now serves as a beautiful collectible and styling object.
