Description
This mini storage tin is a small rectangular metal box with a lift-off lid, printed to look like an old-fashioned grocery tin. The lid carries the word Paprika in bold red lettering above a long red chilli on a mustard yellow oval. Little white flowers and fine gold vines frame it on a bright turquoise ground. Underneath runs the line Sun Grown, Freshly Ground. The same lettering wraps around the side of the base, with a chilli on the end, so it looks just as good on a shelf as it does from above. It measures 10cm long, 6.5cm wide and 3.2cm tall, with space inside of about 9cm by 5cm and 2cm deep.
We find it suits the small things that tend to wander: paper clips and drawing pins on a desk, loose change by the front door, earrings and hair grips on a dressing table, or buttons and beads in a craft drawer. At just 45g it is light enough to slip into a bag or a drawer. Its flat lid lets it sit neatly on a bookshelf or bedside table. The bright turquoise and red bring a cheerful splash of colour to a study, a bedroom or a hallway.
The tin is made from metal, printed on the lid and around the sides, with a plain silver metal finish inside. The lid lifts straight off and fits back over the base, so there are no hinges to catch or bend. To keep the print looking bright, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away rather than leaving it to soak. Tuck a pair of earrings or a few hair ties inside and it becomes a bright little present in its own right. Or keep it on your desk for the odds and ends that always go missing.
