£23.00

Add a delightful touch of mid-century British charm to your kitchen with this genuine pair of vintage Price & Kensington character storage canisters. Manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent, England, during the 1960s, this iconic "Country of Origin" series features a rich, high-gloss brown treacle glaze that perfectly complements retro, rustic, or farmhouse decor.

This set includes:

  • "Coffee" Canister: Artfully sculpted as a figure in a traditional sombrero holding a guitar.
  • "Tea" Canister: Artfully sculpted as an Asian sage/scholar figure.

Both pieces feature their authentic, incised "MADE IN ENGLAND P&K" backstamps on the base, certifying their production era at the historic Top Bridge Works before manufacturing moved overseas.

Condition

  • Overall Display: Good vintage condition. When sitting on a shelf or countertop, these jars present beautifully from the front with bright, vivid glazes and fantastic character detail.
