Description
These storage tins come as a pair printed with the Lyme Bay Preserves design, two cheerful labels in the style of old-fashioned jam and marmalade tins. The larger tin reads "Lyme Bay Organic Seville Orange Marmalade" on a deep orange ground, with whole oranges, juicy slices and green leaves on a pink panel. The smaller tin reads "Lyme Bay Organic Wild Strawberry Preserve" on soft pink, with ripe strawberries, leaves and small white blossoms. Both close with a band of red and white gingham around the base, and the inside of each has a warm golden metal finish. The larger tin is 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller is 10cm across and 12cm tall.
On a kitchen worktop they make handy pots for wooden spoons, whisks, spatulas and peelers, keeping everyday tools within easy reach. They work just as well on a desk for pens, pencils and scissors, in a craft corner for paintbrushes and knitting needles, or on a dressing table for make-up brushes. Because one tin is a little smaller than the other, you can keep them together as a pair or split them between rooms. The bright orange and pink suit a country-style kitchen as readily as a colourful modern one, and they make a cheerful gift.
Each tin is made from tinplate, a light metal, and both are open-topped, so there is no lid to lift when you reach for a spoon or a pen. They stand flat on their bases and need no fixing. To keep the print bright, wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, and keep the tins clear of standing water. We like them on an open shelf beside a pottery jug or a row of cookbooks, where the preserve labels raise a smile, and as a gift they need little more than a ribbon tied around the pair.
