Canisters

Retro Canisters - What happened to displaying canisters on the bench?

Do you remember the days when all kitchens proudly displayed a set of canisters on the kitchen bench?  Kitchens certainly looked warmer and more inviting when the bench held bright colourful display pieces.  Today I have a wooden set of canisters from the 1960's and a very orange set of Nylex canisters rom the 1970's.

Cookies, Tanuki and shots

You certainly never know what you will find on a weekend of garage sales or in this case church fetes.  Recently I came across a wonderful wooden cookie container which still has really vibrant print and some wonderful shot glasses with animals depicting the level of intoxication you will reach but the classic is the Japanese Racoon Dog Tanuki.  I have came across a few of these delightful critters, in true Japanese style this little critter has some very unusual proportions.  If you get what I mean.  All items are at the Bazaar M20

Vintage Nally Ware Canisters

I can't walk past a good set of Nally Ware canisters without having a good look.  They look great in a retro Kitchen or Caravan.  

When first produced Nally Ware delivered both dry food and spice canisters not to mention canisters for Bread, Cakes, Scones even Jam.

These days complete sets in mint condition are very expensive and sell for hundreds of dollars.  We currently have Nally Ware items at WAB Stall 20 and on line.
