German, art nouveau pantry jars and cruets

Hello Abigail,

I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,

Considering the photographs, overall pattern, ceramic quality and the colours, I concluded that this is a Hand Painted Porcelain Set of Pantry Jars Composed of Twelve Jars, six large-six smaller and Two Cruets . The set likely dates back to the period from 1910-1930 which the Art Nouveau style was still being used in the market but the pieces were getting less lavish in decoration. When we closely observe each piece we can see that the writings were drawn and decorated by hand. The circular design of the Art Nouveau is visible from the base till the lids of the pieces. Each piece has a lid, including the Cruets. The pieces are labeled by the artist, these labels include 12 different supplies from spices to sugar. Writings are also in Art Nouveau style with a dynamicly circular font. The pieces are decorated on a single side with the labels, the other faces of the jars are blank. Cruets were decorated from two sides, leaaving the other two blank. The marks underneath the pieces are also suggest that these piece are from the early 20th century. The set is in good condition without visible chips or cracks.
