Set of 6 Graduated French Enamelware Kitchen Canisters in Blue and White Check
Product Barcode Id: 00009112Set of six graduated French enamelware kitchen canisters in a crisp cobalt blue and white check, each with its original lid and a white cartouche lettered in blue script: Sucre, Farine, Café, Pâtes, Chicorée and Poivre (sugar, flour, coffee, pasta, chicory and pepper). The domed lids carry the same plaid up to a white knob finial, and the canisters step down neatly in size from the tall sugar canister to the little pepper pot. Price includes shipping!
Marked beneath with the B.B. crown and laurel stamp and "Tchécoslovaquie," the series was made in Czechoslovakia for the French market, believed in the 1920s or 1930s, when matching enamel canister sets lined the shelves of country kitchens across France. Chicorée is the telling French touch: roasted chicory was stirred into the morning coffee. Line them up on an open shelf or counter for instant French farmhouse charm, or put them back to work holding sugar and flour. From the South of France!
