Bring a piece of authentic Alpine history into your home. This antique measuring cup made of solid copper is an original from Austria and is estimated to date from around 1900 (Late Historicism / early 20th century).
Particularly noteworthy is the soldered brass seal with the engraving "2 DL," which corresponds to a capacity of 2 deciliters (200 ml). A striking visual highlight is the light, turquoise patina at the solder joints. We have deliberately preserved this natural reaction of the solder, as it gives the old copper an unmistakable, lively contrast and emphasizes its antique character.
Although it was originally a functional kitchen utensil, it now offers a variety of decorative possibilities:
Floral arrangements: As a charming vase for wildflowers or small dried flower arrangements.
Desk organizer: A dignified holder for brushes, pens, or pencils.
Kitchen & table: A rustic cutlery holder or an unusual candle holder.
Creative projects: An ideal "living" prop for still life photography or art projects.
A timeless object that looks good wherever authenticity and history are valued.
Linz, an open-air market. The measuring cup bears the stamp "2 DL" — two deciliters, measured in a time when cooking still meant precision in small things. The copper has taken on a beautiful patina.
