Set of Six White Enamel Kitchen Canisters

This is a very pretty complete set of six 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 still recognisable 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). Light oxidisation to the top and base rims

Chicoree (chicory). This pot has the most wear, with a spot where the enamel has rubbed away, plus some oxidisation to the inside

Farine (flour).Minimal wear to the base and top rim

Pates (pasta). Good condition, with some light oxidisation to the inside base

Thé (tea). A lovely example with some light wear to the rims

Epices (spices). Some oxidisation to the inside base and light wear to the enamel around the top of the pot

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