Who doesn’t love a set? Here we have a classic set of Waratah “Deluxe” aluminium kitchen canisters.
But oh, how times have changed. The second smallest canister is for rice, while the second largest is for sugar. They were clearly doing plenty of baking in the 50s and 60s, and very little stir-fry.
Today, they’re best enjoyed as decorative pieces. I wouldn’t use them for food, although they’re still handy for storing all sorts of things. The set shows the expected signs of wear and tear, which only adds to their character.
A very cool mid-century design legend.
