AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A complete, rare collector’s set of herb jars called "The Herb Girls", exclusively designed by Dutch artist Tjitske van Nus for the Goldina Art Collection.
The set consists of 24 unique jars, each decorated with a hand-painted three-dimensional flower/herb girl and provided with the Dutch herb name (including thyme, chives, garlic, clove).
The lot is 100% complete in terms of documentation; original warranty certificates with unique control numbers are present (the remaining copies are still fixed to the bottom-row glued jars).
The entire set is placed in a custom-made wooden wall rack with a functional drawer at the bottom.
Condition:
In good used condition with normal signs of wear.
The wooden wall rack shows light paint and usage marks and is equipped on the back with hanging brackets.
The porcelain jars are visually in good condition at the front.
All 24 jars are glued to the shelves of the rack.
From the bottom 6 jars the lids cannot be removed, so the remaining certificates are stored in these jars and cannot be removed.
Two loose lids show clear damage (one lid has a glued crack across the middle, one lid is missing a chip/splinter from the porcelain knob, see detail photos).
Craquelure is visible in the glaze of the lids.
Dimensions:
Height: 63.5 cm
Width: 44 cm
Depth: 8.5 cm
Total weight: 6.1 kg.
The lot is packed with extreme care and mailed registered and insured, with Track & Trace.
Pickup is also possible by appointment.
