I am happy to offer a retired, useful and interesting Botanic Garden pasta canister in great condition. It carries the Christmas Rose or Helleborus Niger motif. The motif was introduced in 1984 and retired 20 years later in 2004.

This canister shape, perfect for holding uncooked pasta, has been retired for a few years and is getting difficult to find. This item is in mint condition with no signs of use and has a perfect lid with a secure seal.


The Christmas Rose flower was introduced in 1984 and retired recently in 2004. The lovely design was based on an image in an antique botany book Medical Botany, Volume I by John Stevenson and James Mors Churchill.

Size	About 11" high, without the lid, 3-3/8" wide
Transfer	Perfect and bright with no flaws
Ground	Very white
Glaze	No crazing and nice shiny glaze with no flaws seen
Chips/Cracks	None
Stains	None
Use Marks	None, even the bottom unglazed ring where it sits is very clean
Other Comments	The lid is in great condition with perfect varnish and seals tightly. A very useful and unique Botanic Garden retired storage item!

This canister has a Crest ID mark on the bottom.
