i know you probably knew and only wanted a translation, but others might not know, as you did not provide any detail other than a photo.
as this forum is a repository for research, it is nice to provide information for posterity. at least now it will show up in a forum search by others looking for powder measures.
little details on our big boy's toys like a description, provenance, size, composition, weight etc. add so much more richness to those admiring your stuff. and aid in others replying with information YOU may want to hear.
one must give as well as take. a famous philosopher who once greatly influenced a rather large country that i know you are familiar with, said
'from each according to their ability' before 'to each according to their needs' for a reason.
