Description
Set of four 2-quart vintage glass kitchen canisters featuring a charming 'Country Geese' or duck motif in white, orange, and blue. These jars represent the quintessential 1980s farmhouse aesthetic, often referred to as 'Granny Core' or 'Cottagecore' today. Each jar features a wrap-around graphic of two ducks and floral accents. The set includes three flat recessed wooden lids and one wood lid with an ornamental knob. Ideal for dry storage or decorative display.
Key Features
High demand for 'Grannycore' and 'Grandmillennial' aesthetics; rare to find a full matching set of four; large 2-quart capacity is highly functional for modern kitchens.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The specific 'Country Duck' graphic is a hallmark of mass-produced 80s kitchenware. Check for maker's marks on the glass bottom (e.g., an 'L' for Libbey).
Flaws to Note
Mismatching lid on the far right jar; potential for dry-rot or cracking in wood lids; check for chips on the glass rim under the lids.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage/shabby chic), eBay (wide reach), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping 4 heavy glass jars).
Selling Tips
Market using keywords like 'Cottagecore,' 'Grandmillennial,' 'Country Kitchen,' and '80s Aesthetic.' If shipping, double-box the glass and wrap each jar individually. High-quality lifestyle photos on a wooden countertop will increase value.
