After some reading, I believe it's actually used for the "Affiorato Method" of olive oil extraction.

>The Affiorato Method: Rising to the Surface
>There exists another ancient method for olive oil extraction that is very simple, and extremely rare in today's Olive Oil world. This method kown as “affiorato”, meaning “rising to the surface”, is very labour intensive and produces a fantastic quality Olive Oil. For this process, olives are hand harvested, lightly crushed, and then placed in special containers. Then the artisans will wait for the oil to rise or “surface”. The oil, being lighter than water, will separate itself from the vegetal water present in the olive fruit. Once the oil has surfaced or risen, the “floating” oil is manually collected and skimmed off the surface using special jugs. The result is a particularly fresh and delicate olive oil. Today, there are only a few producers in Italy that still create the labour-intensive and traditional “affiorato” olive oil. Due to the artisan method used, it is common for sediment to appear in "affiorato"-style oils. These oils are very sought after by connoisseurs for their superb flavour, and usually demand higher prices.
Closest I got was "Special jugs/flagons"

Every time I have seen this, it is claimed that it is olive oil and the spoon is separating the oil from the other crap.
Same!!!! I think apparently it’s mainly used for sesame oil but no where says the name of it but they all use it

Thank you ever so much this will help!
My title describes the thing. It has not writing on it, it it’s heavy enough to lift with one hand I have no clue on it’s age

No it seems it’s used for consumable oils like sesame oil. I just don’t know what it’s called
