This auction is for a Large Royal Worcester Evesham Gold Canister. This canister is the truly "Made in England" era piece of 1961 hard to find and highly collectible. It is also quite a bit larger than the newer canister set made now. I have located a web site that offers the canister ( /ROYAL-WORCESTER--2700400/kitchen-canisters/brand-html ) at a much higher cost . It is in perfect condition, no cracks, chips or crazing and the colors on the fruit are vibrant. The flour canister does need a new rubber gasket for the lid. The measurements of the canisters are as follows: The flour canister is 10 1/2 inches tall with the lid and 7 1/2 without. The diameter is 6 7/8 inches wide. The lid is 3 inches tall.
