This lovely antique pottery canister is one of a set of twelve we are selling. The canister is decorated with a blue transfer design and hand labeled. The set was made by Boch Freres Keramis (Belgium) c. 1880-1890 and was probably used in a shop. Each canister measures 8 inches high, 4 1/2 inches wide at the top and bottom, and 6 inches at the widest in the middle. This canister is labeled "Sucre-Scie" which is some type of sugar I was unable to determine. The canister and lid are discolored and have crazing. There is a chip on the underside of the lid and a tight hairline crack at the rim that is about an inch long. We did not attempt to restore the color of the canister as we felt it gave it age and character. Click on photo for more detail.
