Set of 24 Hummel Spice Jars Circa 1987

Hummel is an impressive name known throughout the world for its incomparable porcelain figurines and other collectibles. Here is your chance to own a gorgeous wooden spice rack with twenty-four one-of-a-kind, Hummel spice jars, manufactured by the Danbury Mint in 1987. They are all in mint condition and are a retired collection. The 4 ¼ inch tall jars are all fine porcelain covered in an ivory glaze, with a 24-karat gold border and a 24-karat gold accent on its lids. The front of each jar has a charming figure of a child in different settings, the artwork done in the priceless Hummel style, with the name of the spice at the top in easy-to-read black lettering. On the back of every jar is a description of the spice, its origin and how it is used. All are stamped with the M.I. Hummel trademark, with the copyright of ARS AG Cham, Switzerland 1987, and Made In Japan.

The “Dill” spice has an angelic little blond girl, with a bow in her hair, wearing a pretty blue apron. Dancing excitedly at her feet is a darling red dachshund to which the child, with her finger pointed, seems to be saying, “Now, now”. The jar of “Coriander” has a brother, dressed in a cute green shirt and brown shorts, and his little sister, wearing a vivid red dress with yellow apron. The protective little boy is holding a huge brown umbrella over his sister as they are buffeted by the wind and rain. “Basil” shows a darling little boy, with tousled brown hair, in a meadow of colorful red and yellow flowers. He is bent over one of the red flowers to take in its wonderful scent.

The other spices included are: Cream Of Tartar, Oregano, Thyme, Onion, Celery Salt, Cinnamon, Parsley, Rosemary, Garlic, Marjoram, Allspice, Nutmeg, Ginger, Chives, Bay Leaves, Cayenne Pepper, Chili Powder, Cloves, Dry Mustard, Paprika and Tarragon. These stunning spice jars may be displayed on a three-shelved, wooden spice rack, with a graceful arch at the top and a pull-out drawer at the bottom. The drawer is generously divided into three sections for holding recipes or whatever else you might like. The dimensions of the spice rack are 21 inches high, 19 inches wide and 3 inches in depth.
