Vintage Balance Scale

Hello everyone!

I hope you're having a good weekend so far.  I woke up to storms this morning, but it is finally clearing up and the sun is shining.  Love that.

I wanted to show you this cute vintage scale I found at an antique store recently.  I had been eyeing the bigger size scales, similar to this, but didn't really have a place for them in my home.  So, when I found this smaller size, I knew I could use it!

I love that it is made from iron and covered in porcelain.  It has a pan on one side. 

And a flat metal piece on the other side.

I wonder what it was originally used for.  Anybody know?

I placed it on the chest in my foyer.

And filled the pan with my lavender sachets and a little pumpkin on the other side.

I love how it is worn in some places too.  This would also look cute holding a small potted plant in the pan. I'm sure I will have a lot of fun using this piece!

Thanks for stopping by.
