Vintage German Rumtopf Garlic Canister – Salt-Glazed Stoneware

This adorable vintage German garlic canister, made by Rumtopf, is a beautiful example of traditional salt-glazed stoneware. Featuring deep cobalt blue hues, it proudly displays the word “Knoblauch,” meaning garlic, with practical holes on the sides for ventilation. Crafted in the mid-20th century, this canister showcases the timeless technique of salt-glazing, known for its glossy, slightly orange-peel texture. Both the canister and its matching lid are in perfect condition, free of chips or cracks. The canister measures 11.5 cm tall and 11.5 cm wide, while the lid is 9 cm in diameter. Salt-glazed pottery, like this piece, is formed by adding salt to the kiln during high-temperature firing, giving it a distinctive glossy finish. This canister is perfect for collectors or anyone who loves unique, functional vintage kitchenware. For more treasures like this, follow me on Romy's Reads & Relics! 🌟
