Small, closed-top scoop with a plain-edged, S- or ogee-curved opening and a vertical, D- or ear-shaped, tapered strap handle soft soldered to the low-domed, circular back. Cylindrical body has a soft-soldered lapped seam at top center; back is folded over body and soft-soldered. No marks.
The dimunitive size of this scoop suggests it was probably used with tea, spices, or sugar.
