Description
This pair of leopard storage tins borrows the look of an old grocery can, with ridged sides, a gold rim and a printed label. One tin is sky blue and the other a warm orange red, and each carries the word Leopard above a yellow, black-spotted leopard caught mid stride. On the Medium and XL sets the blue tin reads Ground Coffee and the orange one Hot Paprika, with fine gold and black sprigs, stars and leaves round the label; the Mini pair both read Paprika. They come in three sizes, Mini, Medium and XL, and in the Medium set the larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, the smaller about 10cm across and 12cm tall.
Open at the top with no lid, they are quick, handy pots for the things that gather on a surface. On a desk they hold pens, pencils, scissors and a ruler; on a kitchen worktop they keep wooden spoons, whisks and spatulas standing upright; in a craft corner they sort paintbrushes, crochet hooks and rolls of tape. The Mini pair suits a dressing table or bedside shelf for hair grips, rings and small odds and ends, while the XL pair is the one to choose for taller tools and bigger bundles. Because the two tins in each set differ a little in size, they look good staggered side by side, and they make a cheerful gift for anyone who likes a bit of colour about the place.
Each tin is made of tin with a glossy printed finish, a rolled rim and ridged sides like a food can. Care is simple: wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth so no moisture is left sitting on the metal. Stand the blue and orange pair together on an open shelf, or split them between desk and kitchen so the leopard turns up in two rooms at once.
