Lenox Village Spice Jars and Original Display Rack

A complete or near-complete collection of porcelain spice jars from the iconic Lenox 'The Village' collection, originally introduced in the late 1980s. Each jar is meticulously crafted from fine ivory porcelain, featuring a unique Victorian-era house or storefront design. The jars are approximately 3 to 4 inches in height and are hand-painted with soft pastel palettes including pinks, blues, greens, and yellows. Each 'building' corresponds to a specific herb or spice, with the name displayed in stylized font on the facade, such as 'Saffron,' 'Ginger,' and 'Allspice.' The collection is housed in its original dark-finish hardwood display rack, which features a gabled pediment at the top, four open shelves with safety lips, and a single drawer at the base with a white ceramic knob. The porcelain shows a glossy glaze with fine detail in the windows, doors, and architectural moldings. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks in the ceramic. The wooden rack shows minor surface wear consistent with age, primarily along the bottom ledge. This set is a quintessential example of 20th-century decorative kitchenware and is highly sought after by collectors of nostalgia-driven porcelain.
