Description: A very nice antique wooden kitchen storage rack/cabinet with ceramic drawers for holding spices, staples and, behind the center door, a compartment to hold a dozen eggs.

With six large drawers and six small drawers it held many of the essentials for daily meal preparation. The large drawers are for: Thee (Tea), Koffie (Coffee), Vermicelli (thin pasta used in soups), Meel (Flour), Zuiker (Sugar) and Rijst (Rice). The door hides the specially molded wooden shelves for a dozen Eieren or eggs. The small drawers are for: Foeli (Mace); Peper (Pepper); Nagelen (Cloves); Sago (Sago); Muskaat (Nutmeg); and Kaneel (Cinnamon). The wooden frame is solid and can either be hung or sit on the counter. The Zuiker (Sugar) drawer has a lower left corner chip and a flea-bite chip at the top. The Meel (Flour) drawer has a repaired chip at the top lip. All the spice drawers are without chips or cracks. Please review the close-ups for the details mentioned here. The approximate dimensions are: 16.5” x 23.5” x 6”, or 42cm x 60cm x 16cm. The complete rack by itself weighs: 21 lbs. or 10 kg . Shipping weight (and thus cost) is estimated at 30 lbs.

It merged with a factory owned by Rudolf Ditmar's heirs in 1919 and became Ditmar-Urbach. The Nazis took over the factory from the Jewish owners in 1938, and it became part of Ostmark-Ceramic. It was nationalized after the end of the war in 1945.
