About the Item

Set of antique iron measure of capacity ton for educational use. Beautifully aged, slightly rusty patina but still very robust. The white letters are hand painted on the black painted iron. These where used to teach schoolchildren the capacity of measures; Decaliter, Liter, Deciliter, Centiliter. The five biggest have an extra iron rim on top, but only the five and two decaliter also have an iron level bar. I love the color contrast with the orange-red and black. All together it makes it a beautiful decorative set. In total there are nine capacity sizes: 5 decaliter diameter 42, height 42 cm 2 decaliter diameter 31, height 31.5 cm 1 decaliter diameter 25, height 25 cm 5 liter diameter 20, height 20.5 cm 2 liter diameter 15, height 14.5 cm 1 liter diameter 11, height 11 cm 5 D (deciliter) diameter 9, height 9 cm 2 D.C.L.T (deciliter/centiliter) diameter 6.5, height 7 cm 1 D.C.L.T (deciliter/centiliter) diameter 5, height 5.5 cm Please contact me with your address information for exact shipping quote.
