With no 1/3 cup on hand, the spoon route is 5 level tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon. Many cooks stop at 5 Tbsp, which leaves you about 5 mL short. That matters more in a small batch of cookies than in a pot of soup.
Three 1/3 cups make a full cup, and four make 1 1/3 cups, so this one measure can cover several common amounts by itself.
For butter, cut just past the 5 Tbsp mark on the stick to add the extra teaspoon. By weight, 1/3 cup of spooned all-purpose flour is about 40 g (1.41 oz) and granulated sugar about 66 g (2.33 oz). Halving it? Go to half of 1/3 cup.
