Vintage SAMWARE Made in China Ceramic Figural ASPARAGUS 3 Canister Set with Lids
HARD TO FIND!
This set of 3 kitchen canisters are each shaped as an asparagus bunch tied together with a brown rope or ribbon.
They are marked on the bottom of each: "SAMWARE MADE IN CHINA"
GOOD CONDITION ~ A few tiny glaze surface only flea bites/chips may be found overall, if you look closely. The largest is on the tip of the finial on the large canister, and the knot on the bottom brown rope on the large canister.(SEE PICS) The only chip I find, that is slightly more than the paint surface deep, is a small surface only chip on the rim of the medium canister.(SEE PIC) It can't be seen at all with lid in place. No other nicks, chips, cracks, flea bites, or damage. I see a bit of crazing (hard to see) on the interior of the largest canister. Lids have the original silicone rubber seals still intact, and in good condition.
I have cleaned these, but you may find some dust/dirt in the crevices, as they were found stored in an old barn, at a recent estate sale. They had collected quite a bit of dirt/grime through the years.
Approx. measurements are as follows:
Large canister - 9 3/4" H x 6 1/2" D
Medium canister - 7 1/2" H x 5" D
Small canister - 6 1/4" H x 4" D
If you have any questions please ask.
Thanks for Looking!
