The size and shape of spoons varied depending on the type and quantity of the foods, the availability of materials, and the customs of different regions and countries.

The use of teaspoons as a unit of measure dates back to the medieval times, when the European system of measurement was established. The standard size of these spoons was about 5 ml, which was also the size of a dram, a unit of measure for apothecaries and pharmacists. The teaspoon was convenient for measuring and dispensing small amounts of liquids and powders for medicinal purposes.

The use of teaspoons as a unit of measure continued until the 20th century, when the metric system of measurement was adopted in most countries.
