Description
This sardines trinket dish turns a humble tin of fish into a cheerful little home accessory. It is a shallow rectangle of coated cast iron with softly rounded corners and a smooth ivory white finish. At its centre sits a bright print of an opened sardine tin: a yellow label with the word Sardines in bold black letters, a blue fish in a white oval framed by small black stars, and a pink tin edge with the little key and rolled-back lid of a real tin revealing a neat row of fish heads. It measures 10.7cm long, 8.7cm wide and just 1cm high, so it sits low and tidy wherever you put it.
We like it on a bedside table or dressing table, where it gives rings and other small treasures a place to land at the end of the day. It is just as handy on a hallway shelf or beside the keyboard on a desk, catching the little bits that otherwise wander off into pockets and drawers. Because it is so shallow, everything in it stays easy to see and easy to pick up. The playful retro print suits a home with a fondness for vintage packaging and seaside cafés, and its yellow, pink and blue bring a pop of colour to a plain shelf or a quiet corner.
The tray is made of coated cast iron, and small foam pads are attached to the bottom to help prevent scratches, so it is kinder to polished wood and painted surfaces. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a lightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. It makes a cheerful small present wrapped on its own, and a lovely way to hand over a ring or a pair of earrings. At home, set it beside a lamp on a bedside table for a bright, witty touch.
