Paprika and Pepper Set of 2 Tinplate Storage Tins

This pair of tinplate storage tins borrows the look of an old grocer's shelf, with one tin labelled Paprika and the other Pepper. The Paprika tin is a bright turquoise, its red lettering set above two long red peppers, while the Pepper tin is a deep green with gold lettering above a yellow bell pepper. Trailing vines and small white flowers frame both labels, each finished with the line sun grown, freshly ground, and gold-toned rims run round the top and base. We sell the pair in two sizes, Mini and Medium, with the same print on both. In the Medium set, the larger Paprika tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller Pepper tin about 10cm across and 12cm tall. The Mini set is a smaller, lighter pair.

Both tins are open at the top, so they make easy homes for the things you reach for every day. On a kitchen worktop or shelf, the taller Medium pair keeps wooden spoons, whisks and spatulas close to the hob, while the Mini pair suits smaller odds and ends such as pegs, clips or loose change. Away from the kitchen they work as well, holding pens and pencils on a desk, paintbrushes in a craft corner or make-up brushes on a dressing table. Because the two tins in each set differ in height, they sit together as a neat stepped pair.

Tinplate keeps them light, and the bright print covers the sides, with faint ribbed bands that echo a real food can. Inside, the bare metal has a warm golden sheen. To keep them looking their best, wipe them with a damp cloth and dry them straight away, and dust with a soft dry cloth between times. Line them up on an open shelf beside your other kitchen pieces for a cheerful splash of colour, or wrap the pair as a ready-made present.
