Lucy’s Antique Tole Tea Tins
Lucy’s pair of Victorian style toleware tea tins can be seen on the kitchen window ledge in her Early American Connecticut home. They are cylindrical tin tole painted tea caddys. Shabby antique tea tins can still be found in the characteristic toleware hand painted style on black laquered tin. Lucy’s set are quite shabby and are in keeping with the Early American style of the Ricardo’s new home in the country.

A fine Nesco breadbox and canister set expertly restored to look like the set in the Ricardo’s kitchen on I Love Lucy – pictured above- submitted by a contributor to this blog who was inspired by the previous blog posts. “With the help of my dad, who sandblasted, painted and clear coated everything and a friend who helped with the graphics, I too now have those Nesco canisters that are used in my kitchen every day!”

New update here: RESTORATION PROJECT: LUCY RICARDO’S BREADBOX Part 2
I found a vintage Nesco breadbox (above) in shabby rusty condition to restore. This one is the same type as you see in the Kitchen set of “I love Lucy”, except it was white and had a “garden girl” decal which is barely visible in its current condition. It will take a bit of work to restore it to anything close to original condition, and I have never done anything like this before so its a learning experience for me.

I Love Lucy Ricardo’s Canister Set
Lucy Ricardo’s Canister Set in the “I Love Lucy” was one of the latest on the market in 1951 when the series launched.

In the screencaps here you will notice the kitchen props included four nesting canisters and a matching bread box plus a pair of cylindrical salt and pepper shakers.

‘I Love Lucy’ Kitchen Trivia: The Moving Bread Box
The Kitchen set of the “I Love Lucy” New York apartment featured a distinctive square breadbox with matching canister set made by Nesco.
The door of the breadbox was a pull down style with a handle at the top. By the third season, the bread box had to be turned on its side to keep the door from falling open, which happened on screen in one episode when Ricky walked into the kitchen, Continue reading ‘I Love Lucy’ Kitchen Trivia: The Moving Bread Box
