Three-piece storage jar set in cream-white ceramic bearing the inscriptions Tea, Sugar and Coffee, presented on a wooden tray with metal ring handles. The jars have fluted sides, a scalloped upper rim and dome-shaped lids with openwork handles, all finished in a glossy white glaze. The oval label cartouches in relief carry the inscriptions in cursive black lettering.

The design refers back to European kitchen jars of the late nineteenth century, when sets for tea, sugar and coffee in enamelled tin or porcelain held a fixed place in the bourgeois kitchen. The brocante revival of this typology emerged from the two thousands onwards and has since served the market for country-style home decoration. This set represents that contemporary interpretation of a historical kitchen archetype: not a vintage original, but a present-day homage to the visual codes of the French and English country kitchen.
