Description
This pair of storage tins borrows the look of an old-fashioned food can, with a lemon print on one and a tomato print on the other. The larger tin is turquoise, printed with the words Moroccan Lemons above a bright yellow lemon with green leaves, and the smaller is pink, printed Spiced Tomatoes above a round red tomato. Both have cream scalloped borders at the top and bottom, ribbed bands around the sides just like a real can, and a warm gold-tone finish inside. The set comes in three sizes, Mini, Medium and XL, and each size is a matching lemon and tomato pair. In the XL pair, the larger tin is about 20cm across and 24cm tall, and the smaller is about 17cm across and 20cm tall.
We find these open-topped tins earn their place wherever small things gather. The Mini pair sits neatly on a kitchen shelf or a desk, keeping wooden spoons, pens or paintbrushes upright and close to hand. The Medium pair takes longer utensils, make-up brushes or craft supplies, while the XL pair is roomy enough for balls of wool, rolled tea towels, art materials or larger craft tools. They bring a cheerful splash of colour to a kitchen, a home office or a craft corner, and their playful food-label designs suit anyone with a soft spot for retro packaging.
Each tin is made of tin with a printed outer and rolled rims at the top and base for a neat, finished edge. To keep them looking their best, wipe them with a soft dry cloth, or a lightly damp one followed by a thorough dry, as you would with any printed tin. Line a pair up on an open shelf or group different sizes together for a stepped display; filled with a few wooden spoons or a bundle of pencils, a pair makes a cheerful little present.
