Melting Snowman Canister Set

Filed under: Dining

They look like they could have come straight from a Calvin and Hobbes strip, but these porcelain snowman canisters were designed by Marcel Dzama for Cerealart. He claims to have been inspired by his own "drawings and paintings allegorically documenting his move to New York from Winnipeg," but surely a comic strip or two crossed his path at one time or another. Three out of the four canisters (the last and smallest hardly counts as a "canister") have airtight seals for storing condiments, spices or hot chocolate mix. They range in size from 2.5" - 9" high and are produced in a limited run of 2500 units. Price: $125.
