Vintage French Kitchen Canister and Spice Jar Set
Vintage French Kitchen Canister and Spice Jar Set
$225.00
Created by Jacques Lobjoy, the mid-century French designer of classic bistroware, we are so pleased to present this oh-so-French 11-piece Vintage Canister and Spice Jar Set. Produced in the 1970s by the revered Parisian pottery Porcelaine d'Auteuil, this bright-white porcelain set is decorated with an exuberant scrolling script on each piece spelling the French word for the intended kitchen staples and spices. The three large canisters were labeled to hold Rice (Riz), Cacao and Coffee. The 8 smaller spice jars are for Curry, Celery Seed (Céleri), Basil, Tarragon (Estragon), Pepper (Piment), Saffron (Safran), Nutmeg (Muscade) and Rosemary (Romarin).
Trimmed in bright red with a black pinstripe, each cheerful canister and jar is topped with its original thick cork stopper which allows for an airtight seal ensuring the contents stay fresh. Blending the spirit of classic French bistroware with that of a French kitchen, this decidedly retro set exudes the relaxed confidence of a well-loved family kitchen and perfectly captures the spirit of home-cooking in France.
Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In very good vintage condition. 3 large canisters measure 5.75"H x 5.125"D each. 8 Spice Jars measure 2.25"H x 2.75"D each.
