Description

This mini storage tin with a lift-off lid borrows its look from a vintage tin of fish, with a bold retro mackerel label printed on bright red metal. The lid carries a striped blue and cream mackerel with a black head and an open, smiling mouth. It is framed by the words "Mackerel, in tomato & basil sauce" and "Skinless & boneless fillets", just as an old grocer's tin would read. The mackerel lettering runs along the sides of the base too, so it looks the part from every angle on a shelf or desk. It measures 10cm long, 6.5cm wide and 3.2cm high, with room inside of about 9cm long, 5cm wide and 2cm deep.

That snug space is just right for the small things that otherwise go astray: sewing pins and needles, buttons, paper clips, hair grips, earrings, spare keys or a few coins. At only 45g it adds next to nothing to a bag, so it travels well in a handbag, rucksack or sewing kit. It also sits neatly in a kitchen drawer, on a dressing table or beside the computer. In a craft box it is a tidy home for beads or sequins.

The tin is made from lightweight metal, printed red on the outside and left plain silver-coloured inside, and the lid simply lifts off and presses back on over the rim. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth or a barely damp one and dry it straight away, as metal is happiest kept dry. Avoid scouring pads, which might scratch the print. It looks charming on its own on an open shelf, and we think it makes a cheerful little gift for anyone who loves vintage packaging or the seaside, especially with a few trinkets or hair clips tucked inside.
