Description :

A trio of domestic relics, each whispering tales from the pantry and the sewing box:

  • Two vintage glass rolling pins – once filled with ice or water to keep pastry cool, now emptied of utility but brimming with charm. Their cylindrical clarity and subtle wear suggest decades of doughy devotion. Both full of buttons.

  • One canning jar packed with buttons – a kaleidoscope of color, shape, and era. Bakelite, mother-of-pearl, plastic, and metal jostle together like a miniature society of fasteners, each with its own backstory.

Together, they evoke a kitchen drawer from 1947, a grandmother’s sewing tin, or a country store’s forgotten shelf. Whether you’re a collector of curiosities or a lover of tactile nostalgia, this lot is a quiet riot of texture and memory.
