Description
This set of two storage tins pairs a deep teal tin labelled Thyme with a soft sage green tin labelled Oregano. Both carry the Lewis and Herb design in old-style grocer's lettering. Each label panel has a woman in a wide-brimmed hat and long dress, a basket on her arm, reaching up to a climbing stem dotted with red flowers. On the Thyme tin her dress is pale blue, and on the Oregano tin it is blush pink. The larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller is about 10cm across and 12cm tall, so the pair sits neatly side by side. Ribbed bands circle each tin, and the inside is a warm gold colour that catches the light.
Open at the top, they are made for the things you reach for every day. On a kitchen worktop they keep wooden spoons, spatulas and whisks upright and close to hand, and the herb names feel right at home in a cook's corner. On a desk they hold pens, pencils and scissors, and in a craft corner they hold paintbrushes and crochet hooks. Because the two tins are different heights, they look good grouped together. You can also split them between rooms and still keep the look matching. The illustration has the cheerful feel of an old seed packet or a country larder label, which suits a farmhouse kitchen as happily as a modern one.
Both are made from tin, with a rolled rim at the top and a gold-toned edge at the base, and they sit flat on a shelf. To keep the print looking fresh, wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth, dry them straight away and avoid soaking. Line them up on an open shelf with the labels facing out, or tie the pair with string for a gift that needs very little wrapping.
