Its very unusual to find a flour (Farine) enamel "épicerie" canister in this design, but what could be more practical than having a handle? So much easier to lift off the shelf and use.
 
It is in classic white enamel with blue rings around the canister and its lid, with the lettering in a beautiful script.
 
It is perfect for a vase, as the handle helps carry it, so perfect for the table in the garden. 
 
Stamped with the maker's mark on the base, the sign of quality.
 
There is some rust inside and the inner rim of the lid where it is not enamelled, giving it a tighter fit and there is one small chip on the enamel of the lid, so it is in remarkable condition for enamel of its age. It is 8" tall and just under 5" diameter
