Description
These olive oil storage tins come as a pair, each dressed in a retro label that borrows the look of a vintage food can, ribbed sides and all. One tin wears soft aqua, with a glass bottle of golden oil framed by olive branches; the other is mustard yellow, with two brightly feathered birds perched among the olives. Both share bold black Olive Oil lettering, fine gold stripes and a gold-toned rim and interior. The set comes in three sizes, Mini, Medium and XL, and in each set one tin is a little larger than the other. In the Medium set, the larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller is about 10cm across and 12cm tall.
Open at the top, they make easy pots for the kitchen worktop, keeping wooden spoons, whisks and spatulas close to the hob where you need them. They are just as useful on a desk for pens and pencils, or in a craft room for paintbrushes, scissors and rolls of washi tape. The sunny olive theme sits happily in a farmhouse or Mediterranean-style kitchen, and the bright aqua and mustard tones bring a cheerful lift to plain open shelving.
Both tins are made of tin, with ribbed sides that echo an old-fashioned can and a neat rim around the top. The smaller tin sits inside the larger one, so the pair tucks away into the space of one when you are not using them. To care for them, simply wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry well with a soft cloth. Line them up beside the cooker for an instant splash of colour, or fill the pair with wooden spoons and tie a ribbon around it for a cheerful gift.

Frequently Asked
What sizes do these olive oil storage tins come in?
They come in three sizes, Mini, Medium and XL, and each is a pair with one tin a little larger than the other. In the Medium set, the larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller is about 10cm across and 12cm tall.
Do the storage tins have lids?
No, both tins are open at the top, so they work well as handy pots for utensils, pens, paintbrushes and anything else you want to keep within easy reach.
What are the tins made of?
Both tins are made of tin, with ribbed sides in the style of an old food can and a gold-toned rim and interior.
Are the two tins the same design?
They share the same retro Olive Oil label style, but each has its own picture. The aqua tin shows a bottle of olive oil among olive branches, and the mustard yellow tin shows two birds perched on an olive branch.
Can one tin be stored inside the other?
Yes, the smaller tin sits inside the larger one, so the pair takes up the space of a single tin on a shelf or in a cupboard when you are not using them.
How should I clean the tins?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth, then dry them well with a soft cloth so the labels and rims stay looking their best.
