Antique Set of Five White and Gold Enamel French Kitchen Canisters

This is a very pretty set of five antique storage jars. Dating from the early to mid 20th Century, this set of enamel white and gold rimmed jars is very attractive with lots of faded charm.

The charming timeworn condition of this set is very sweet. Although there is some wear to them, they are still usable. The lettering and pretty gold decoration on the rims of these pots is all very clear still and there are no holes in any of the tins. There are varying degrees of oxidisation, wear and staining on the pots but this patination adds to their appeal. And the colour combination of the gold labels against the pure white backdrop is very pretty. 

The set comprises:

Sucre (sugar). This has the most amount of oxidisation to the base, and also staining to the inside due to use over the years. 

Café (coffee). This too has oxidisation around the base, both to the interior and exterior of the pot

Farine (flour). There is some staining to the inside base of this pot but overall it is quite a clean example

Thé (tea). A lovely example with some light staining to the inside

Epices (spices). The cleanest example with some general wear and light staining in places.

Overall, this is a very pretty set still and is highly decorative.
