Gossip About Thirteen Anthropomorphic Spice Jars From The 19th Century
So let's try to listen to their murmurs: the older sisters chatter about vermicelli, chicory, rice, flour, coffee and sugar while the younger sisters chirp about vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper, saffron and nutmeg around a swaddled baby who carries the salt. Exceptional anthropomorphic witnesses of what symbolized luxury in the 19th century... The spices that ennobled the dishes were not within everyone's reach. They are magnificent and plump, they deplore the accident that happened to saffron, but who to blame... Numbered French earthenware, not signed, a specialist could confirm their manufacture.... Gien, Lunéville, St Amand, or even another. This rare set of nannies, caring cooks, is not dissociable. The greatest care will be taken in their packaging for transport.
