Very Rare Or Primitive Set Of 4 Carved Wood Dry Measures Canisters

  

To get the measuring size of each one I used a baggie and filled with water and then into a measuring cup. The larger one is (close) 8cups, 2 cups, 1-1/2 cups and 1 cup.

All four have metal straps around the top and the bottom. The first and the third have round hooks on them possibly using for hanging somewhere. They all seemed to be hand carved out of a tree limb.

The inside is unbelievable they all have been hand carved or chiseled out. #1 measures 3-3/4 tall, 3-3/4 bottom, 2-7/8" opening #2 is 4-1/4" tall, 4-3/8" bottom-3-7/8" opening, #3 is 6-1/2" tall, 3" opening, #4 is 7-1/2" tall, 6" bottom and 4-1/2 opening. Please remember these were tree limbs so nothing is perfect and if I had to guess I would say they were made in the 1800's but could be earlier. Many of the items we sell are Vintage, so please understand that they will not be perfect. We pride ourselves on giving as accurate a description as possible.
