Beautiful hand-painted ceramic saffron jar from Princesa de Minaya of Spain, originally sold with 2 grams of Azafrán de La Mancha saffron.  The yellow glazed pottery jar features colorful hand-painted decoration with dark blue accents and a coordinating fitted lid. It retains its original Princesa de Minaya hang tag as well as the Consejo Regulador de la Denominación de Origen Azafrán de La Mancha certification label.  Also included is the original packet of saffron.  The dated label provides some particularly nice provenance for this example:  * Contents: 2 grams * Harvest / Cosecha: 2009 * Best before: November 25, 2012 * Lot: 05112 * Made/presented in Spain * Hand-painted ceramic jar with lid * Original hang tags included * Original saffron included * Height: Approx. 6.5 inches including lid.  IMPORTANT: The saffron is long past its best-before date and is included solely as part of the original collectible presentation. It is not being sold or represented as suitable for consumption.  The jar is in very good pre-owned condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs noted. As a hand-painted pottery piece, variations and irregularities in the decoration are part of its character.
