Description
This pair of storage tins carries a retro tea print in the style of old shop packaging, with a red and gold crown, bold red Crown Blend lettering and sprigs of white blossom on a cream label. The larger tin is a deep green and the smaller a soft pale blue, and both open to a warm gold-toned interior. Made of tin, the larger is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller about 10cm across and 12cm tall, so they sit side by side with a gentle step in height. Both are open at the top, so whatever you keep in them stays within easy reach.
In the kitchen we like them on the worktop for wooden spoons, spatulas and whisks, or on an open shelf where the vintage label can be seen. On a desk they keep pens, pencils, scissors and rulers tidy, and in a craft corner they hold paintbrushes, crochet hooks and knitting needles upright and easy to find. The old-fashioned tea merchant styling suits a country kitchen, a painted dresser or any room with a retro feel, and because they come as a matched pair you can keep them together or let one wander off to the study.
Each tin has subtle ribbed bands around the body and a rolled rim at the top and base, and the print wraps right round with more vintage-style wording on the sides, so they look good from any angle. To keep them at their best, wipe them with a damp cloth, dry them straight away and keep them out of standing water. For a simple present, fill the green tin with new wooden spoons and the blue one with a few favourite pens, and the pair is ready to give.
