[QUOTE="VintageAlways, post: 229002, member: 772"]Please help me ID these very unique containers. I have been doing a lot of research and tell you a little bit about what I have found. First of all, the words that are used: Alkekenci is a Chinese Lantern plant. Persic means Persian. Elorum was a river in Sicily. I believe these wood containers were holding plant materials brought from the new world in the 1700's...or am I just dreaming? At any rate, they are really very special antiques of some kind! Thank you for looking![/QUOTE]
