Vintage Mid-Century Modern Douglas Glass Canisters

The mid-century modern era, spanning roughly from the 1940s to the 1960s, was a time of significant innovation in design and home decor. Characterized by clean lines, organic shapes, and a focus on functionality, this style permeated furniture, architecture, and everyday household items. Glassware and kitchenware from this period often featured decorative motifs such as floral patterns, geometric shapes, and, as seen here, wheat or grass designs.

These designs were frequently rendered in gold or other metallic finishes to add a touch of elegance and sophistication. The Douglas brand, while not as widely known as some of its contemporaries like Libbey or Anchor Hocking, produced glassware that embodies the aesthetic sensibilities of the mid-century era. These canisters, with their clear glass bodies, gold accents, and stylized wheat patterns, are a testament to the era's design ethos.

These are in excellent condition given their age with only minor signs of wear.
