{"product_id":"vintage-french-aluminum-spice-tins-set-of-5","title":"Vintage French Aluminium Canister Set | Brass Labels | Mid 20th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat I love about old French kitchen canisters is that they tell you exactly how a household cooked. This vintage French canister set still carries its original brass labels: Farine (flour), Café (coffee), Chicorée (chicory), Thé (tea), and Poivre (pepper). Five everyday ingredients, lined up on a shelf and reached for thousands of times. Made in France in the mid 20th century, the set is complete, which is becoming increasingly difficult to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach canister was spun from pure aluminium and fitted with its original lid. Over the decades, the metal has mellowed into a soft grey that feels much warmer than new aluminium ever could.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass plaques provide just enough contrast, their lettering still crisp and easy to read. Turn them over and the bases remain marked marque déposée aluminium pur, a reminder that these were made to be practical household tools. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best part is that they still work exactly as intended. Coffee, tea, flour, sea salt, or whatever finds its way into them. Lined up on a shelf or next to the stove, they immediately make a kitchen feel more Provencal in just an instant. And finding all five pieces still together, right down to the little poivre canister that is so often missing, is part of what makes this set special. A really beautiful set of everyday French kitchen history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52747520606551,"sku":"DEC-049","price":295.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/vintage-french-aluminium-spice-tins-set-of-five-2.jpg?v=1770549984","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/vintage-french-aluminum-spice-tins-set-of-5","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
