I picked this beauty up, along with a few other aluminum pieces, at an estate sale many years ago. This cutie has no makers mark but I have been told by an informed Chairish follower that it is in fact a Claire Burke pot from the 1990s. The abstract cutout design on the lid top looks likes flying doves; side handles mimic avian claws, quite unique! The ribbed clear plastic knob adds a touch of elegance to a humble aluminum canister! The neck is decorated with a unique circular pattern of beads and “S” squiggles all around. The lid fits snugly and I would recommend twisting it off instead of pulling it off with the knob. The original screw was completely rusted and I had my husband replace it. It measures 6½” x 6” H/W; 15 ½” circumference; 5” diameter base; 3¾” diameter rim; weight 6 oz. Overall in excellent condition with cosmetic wear that is typical for aluminum ware from this period (see close-up photos). FYI, abrasive scrubbies and gritty cleaners are to hammered aluminum what wooden stakes are to vampires, never should they cross paths. In our previous home I used it as a decorative vanity canister filled with cotton pads and Q-tips in one of the guest bedrooms but it’s a whimsical decor accent all on its own.

Thanks for looking! less
