Description
This pair of storage tins brings the cheerful look of an old-fashioned honey jar label to a shelf, desk or worktop. One tin is a warm burnt orange, printed with a domed golden beehive, three bumblebees and white wildflowers; the other is a deep teal, with a single bee resting on golden honeycomb. Both read "Wildflower Honey" and "Naturally Sweet" in retro lettering, framed by fine gold bands and a tiny flower border near the top and base. Made from tin with ridged sides and a gold-tone inside, the larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller about 10cm across and 12cm tall.
With open tops, they are handy wherever small things gather. On the kitchen worktop they keep wooden spoons, spatulas and whisks within easy reach; on a desk they hold pens, pencils and scissors; in a craft corner they gather brushes, crochet hooks and rolls of tape. They work well together as a pair or split between rooms, and the orange, teal and gold sit nicely with warm wood, cream cupboards and vintage-style kitchens. At 13cm tall, the larger tin lets utensils and pens stand upright with their handles easy to grab.
Each tin has a rolled rim at the top and a gold band around the base, and the ribbed sides give them the feel of a proper old grocery tin. To keep the print bright, wipe them with a soft damp cloth and dry them straight away, as tin is happiest kept out of standing water. We like them lined up on an open shelf with a jar of honey beside them, or tied together with garden twine and a sprig of dried flowers as an easy, cheerful present.
