Set of Three Vintage Amber Ribbed Glass Canisters with Rooster Finial Metal Lids

A graduated set of three decorative storage canisters, typically used in a kitchen setting. The bodies are constructed from heavy, mold-blown amber-colored glass featuring a strong vertical ribbing or 'picket' pattern that adds texture and plays with light. Each canister is topped with a tiered metal lid, likely made of cast pewter or a bronze-finished alloy, showcasing a significant aged patina with dark oxidation in the crevices. The highlight of the set is the ornate rooster-shaped finials crowning each lid, characteristic of mid-20th-century country-chic or farmhouse style. The canisters appear to be from the 1960s or 1970s. Regarding condition, there is a visible break on the finial of the front-most jar, where the rooster's head/neck is missing. The metal shows significant surface wear and 'foxing' where the original golden-toned plating has worn away to reveal a darker base metal. The glass appears intact but shows minor surface scratches and internal dust, consistent with age and utilitarian use. No maker's marks are visible from this angle, though sets like these were commonly produced in Italy or by American companies such as Indiana Glass or Tiara for home decor lines.
