Description

This lot consists of a trio of graduated kitchen canisters crafted from ceramic and designed in the form of stylized apples. Each piece features a globular body with an indented base, finished in a high-gloss, deep red glaze. The corresponding lids are fitted with sculptural handles shaped like stems and leaves, accented with a multi-tonal drip glaze in shades of earthy brown, ochre, and forest green. This design is characteristic of mid-20th-century decorative kitchenware produced by various American and Japanese potteries. No manufacturer marks or signatures are visible on the exterior; the undersides were not available for inspection.

Smallest: Graduated sizes

Condition report:

The set is in good vintage condition. There are no significant chips, cracks, or evidence of professional restoration visible on the exterior surfaces. As is typical with mid-century earthenware, minor manufacturing-related glaze skips, pinholes, or firing irregularities may be present. Surfaces exhibit light shelf wear to the base rims consistent with age and use.
