Enamelware - French Enamel Soap Cannisters & Rack (KE579)
This would originally have been used for laundry. The three containers are for storing 'Cristaux', Savon Noir' and 'Savon Mineral' (soda crystals, mineral soap and black soap). Nowadays I think you are more likely to use it in a bathroom for pretty soaps, flannels, toothbrushes etc. or in the kitchen for different herbs.
The enamel rack measures 17.5 inches length by 6.5 inches height by 5.5 inches depth. There are holes on the back of the rack to mount it on the wall. As can be seen, the lettering on the cannisters is still nice and clear.
There is some rust and chipping to the enamel, which is to be expected and the Cristaux cannister has a small hole in the base. That said it is quite unusual to find these sets.
