Description:   Smaller scoop. Shallow cup/bowl which stand on a carelessly made low raised base, and have at one side a heavy projecting leg-handle, and at the opposite side a slight groove or hollow in the rim to serve as a channel for pouring. The thick handle, projecting from the rim is bent downard so that its end reaches approximately the same level as that of the base of the vessel, and thus acts as a sturdy support, which enables the scoop when set down to stand without leaning. There is a large vertical hole through the end of the handle, by which the scoop could be suspended from a nail or a peg. The rim is finished with a slight outward roll.
