One-of-a-kind vintage piece - once it’s gone, it’s gone.
A complete and well-matched set of thirteen German porcelain kitchen pieces — six pantry canisters, five spice jars, and an oil and vinegar cruet pair with their original stoppers. Each piece is decorated with floral banding, warm orange trim, and gold script labels identifying the contents. The varied heights — cruets at nearly 11 inches, large canisters at 6.5 to 7.5 inches, spice jars at 4.5 to 5.5 inches — give the set real presence on open shelving without looking fussy.
Made in Germany, likely 1920s–1940s, with an Art Deco-influenced form that sits comfortably between cottage kitchen and collected European interior. The bases are marked Germany and some pieces are numbered 5591. A complete set in this style with original stoppers intact is genuinely hard to come by.
What's included: Oil, Vinegar, Rice, Oatmeal, Flour, Sugar, Tea, Coffee, Cloves, Cinnamon, Allspice, Pepper, and Ginger.

Condition Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear — minor paint loss, light discoloration, and small manufacturing irregularities consistent with the age and origin. No major cracks. The oil and vinegar stoppers are original and present. As with all antique porcelain kitchenware, there may be light crazing or minor edge wear consistent with 80–100 years of age — these are not flaws, they are what vintage looks like.
Placement Line them up on an open wood shelf and the set does its own work. The graduated heights and consistent palette hold together naturally — no styling required beyond placing them. Works in a collected traditional kitchen, a cottage interior, or anywhere that benefits from something with real age and character on the counter.
