Description
This set of two storage tins takes its look from an old-fashioned syrup can, with ribbed sides, a rolled rim and a bright printed label. Each tin carries the same cheerful design: a plum-coloured bird with a crested head and a fanned, feathered tail, perched on a mossy branch and set on a sunny yellow panel between sky-blue bands. The label reads Golden Rose Syrup and Sugar Refiners, with a small rose emblem at its centre and the number 60 near the top, and the larger tin adds a coral-red band at its rim and base. The larger tin is 11cm across and 13cm tall; the smaller is 10cm across and 12cm tall.
We like them on a desk or a craft table, where they keep pens, pencils, paintbrushes and palette knives standing upright and within easy reach. They work just as well on a bookshelf, a windowsill or a dressing table for make-up brushes and combs, or anywhere a little colour helps. With two sizes in the set, you can keep them side by side for different tools, or tuck the smaller one inside the larger when you want to save space. The open tops make it quick to drop things in and lift them out again.
Both tins are made of tin, with a gold-toned finish inside and the printed label wrapping all the way round the outside, so they look good from every angle. The ribbed sides give them the true feel of an old food can. Care is simple: wipe them clean with a damp cloth, then dry them with a soft towel so the metal and print stay at their best. For a neat finish, stand them in a row on an open shelf, or fill them with fresh pencils or brushes before you wrap them, for a cheerful gift that is ready to use.
