Description
These storage tins come as a pair, one red and one blue, each printed with a vintage-style label reading Cerveza Española around a lady in a ruffled turquoise dress and a cluster of glossy oranges with leaves and a single blossom. The little details finish the look of an old Spanish beer tin: Desde 1895 under the name, ABV 4.6% in the corner, and gold-coloured bands around the rim and base, with ribbed lines pressed into the metal. They are made of tin, open at the top with no lid, and come in two sizes, Medium and XL. In the Medium set the larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall and the smaller about 10cm across and 12cm tall, while the XL set is the bigger pair, for taller and bulkier things.
In the kitchen they make cheerful pots for wooden spoons, spatulas and whisks beside the hob, or for cutlery on a dresser shelf. On a desk the Medium tins keep pens, pencils and scissors upright, and in a craft corner they gather paintbrushes, knitting needles and crochet hooks. The XL pair takes on bigger jobs, from long-handled utensils to rolled tea towels. Anyone who loves retro packaging or a sunny Mediterranean kitchen will warm to them.
Each tin is printed metal with a rolled rim, and the inside has a warm gold-coloured metallic finish that catches the light when the tins are empty. As with any printed tin, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and keep it out of standing water so the metal stays bright. Line the two up on an open shelf or worktop so the red and blue play off each other, or tie a ribbon around the pair for a bright, useful gift.
