None of your running dog capitalist lacky consumerist sophistry here. These are exceedingly 1970s and the height of East German functionality with just a hint of decoration to appeal to the western passion for irrelevant adornment. These are plain buff coloured plastic cylinders, capacity 180ml, with brown, not quite loosely fitting lids. They are labelled, in brown, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, Cinnamon and Curry. Well, it was the 70s and who'd ever heard of cumin or garam masala. They look and smell unused (You can imagine, can't you: "What do I want with that foreign stuff?") and the only marks are from where the mouldings have been cut away from the sprigs (yes, that is water on the picture of the base). They would make a fine retro gift for your local Politburo committee member.
