ANTIQUE SPICE/KITCHEN NEST OF CERAMIC POTS FROM FRANCE VERY OLD - C. 1890 - VERY SOPHISTICATED, TYPICAL OF THE 1800'S, HEXAGONAL, GOLD TRIM, HAND PAINTED COUNTRY SCENERY WITH A HALF TIMBERED FARM - NEST OF 5 POTS (THE SMALLEST ONE CAN BE PUT IN THE NEXT IN SIZE WHICH GOES IN THE NEXT IN SIZE...). EACH PAINTED POT IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER ONE - ALL HAVE A LID EXCEPT THE TINY ONE. IN GOLD IS WRITTEN "FARINE" (FLOUR) "CAFE" (COFFEE) "SEL" (SALT) "THE" (TEA) "POIVRE" (PEPPER). IT IS VERY RARE TO FIND SUCH AN ANTIQUE SET SIMPLY BECAUSE A SPICE SET WAS USED DAILY IN THE KITCHEN, TFORE EASILY SUSCEPTIBLE TO BE BROKEN. NOT SO MANY ARE STILL AROUND. ALL THE POTS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, EXCEPT THE TALLEST ONE "FARINE" WHICH IS A BIT DAMAGED IN THE BACK BUT HAS NO HOLE AND CAN BE USED (SEE PHOTO). 2 LIDS OUT OF 4 HAVE A CRACK (THE "FARINE" AND THE "SEL" ONES)(SEE PHOTO). IT IS STILL A REMARQUABLE SET SINCE THE POTS COULD ALSO BE USED WITHOUT THE LIDS. THE TALLEST ONE ("FARINE") WITH THE LID IS 16CM HIGH (6 1/2") AND 11CM WIDE (4 1/4"). THE SMALLEST ONE ("POIVRE") IS 6,5CM HIGH (2 1/2") AND 6CM WIDE (2 1/3"). THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING !
