Mango Retro Tinplate Set of 2 Storage Tins

These retro mango storage tins come as a pair, each printed like the label on an old tin of fruit. One tin is a warm orange red and the other a bright turquoise, both banded in sunny yellow, with Mexican Ataúlfo, Mango and Premium Quality lettered around a plump yellow mango with a green leaf. They are made of tinplate, with ridged sides and a rolled rim just like a real can, and a golden-toned inside. The set comes in two sizes, Mini and Medium. In the Medium pair the larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall and the smaller about 10cm across and 12cm tall, while the Mini pair is a lower, more compact version of the same two designs.

In the kitchen they make cheerful pots for wooden spoons, spatulas and everyday cutlery beside the hob, or tidy homes for odds and ends on an open shelf or dresser. The taller Medium tins hold longer utensils upright, while the Mini tins suit teaspoons and small tools where space is tight. Because the two tins in each pair differ a little in height, they sit nicely side by side, and the orange red and turquoise bring a bright, vintage grocery feel to a white or wooden kitchen.

Tinplate is light yet sturdy, and the print wraps right round each tin so the colour shows from every side. The tins are open at the top with no lids, so they are best for things you reach for every day. To keep them bright, wipe them with a soft damp cloth and dry them straight away, as you would any tin, rather than leaving them wet. Stand the pair together on a worktop for a splash of colour, or fill them with new wooden spoons and give them as a cheerful gift.
