There are a number of factors that have an affect on the
price of the
pieces within this group. Some of the the earlier pieces had
"ground" unpolished rims and tend to display a gray to amethyst
purple tint. Also, for some reason, the Cloves, Soda and Cinnamon
pieces are much less common with the Ginger and Allspice being the most
common. Good Salt and Pepper pieces without cloudiness are also a
premium set with their original adjustable closing lids. The
scripted "C" on the COFFEE and the "T" and
"A" on the TEA canisters are the main indicators between these
pieces and the more common Traditional Colonial Coffee and Tea jars.
Most pieces do not show the kind of distinct embossing that the examples
on this page show due to worn or dirty molds. The distinct lids used
in this series are also worthy of a premium as no replacables are
available. |
