Sold for: £30
A set of six porcelain scale weights, marked in decagrams (dag), ranging from 1/2 to 20. The cylindrical, off-white porcelain weights are graduated in size and marked with black numbers: 1/2, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 dag. They are housed within a rectangular dark wood holder featuring individual recessed compartments. This type of set is consistent with historical merchant or laboratory weights, with examples found in contexts suggesting origins in regions such as Poland or Russia.
