Description
This mini metal storage tin with lid takes its look from an old-fashioned tin of sardines. Two smiling yellow fish leap across a bright turquoise lid. The words Night Catch and Sardines sit across the top in bold retro lettering, beside a little fisherman casting his net under the beam of a lighthouse. Along the long side, navy lettering reads Sardines, Wild Caught Fish, and the short ends carry the Night Catch script. It is a neat rectangle with softly rounded corners, 10cm long, 6.5cm wide and 3.2cm high, small enough to hold in one hand.
Inside there is about 9cm by 5cm by 2cm of space. That is just right for the little things that tend to wander: paper clips, drawing pins, hair grips, earrings, spare buttons or a few coins. We like it on a desk for stationery bits, on a dressing table for rings and studs, or in a craft box for beads and sewing needles. It slips easily into a drawer or a bag without taking up room. The tinned-fish look adds a playful note to a kitchen shelf, a study or a hallway table, and it sits happily with a seaside or retro scheme.
The tin is made from metal, with a lift-off lid that rests over the base and a plain silver finish inside. The print covers the lid and wraps around the sides, so it looks just as good standing on a shelf as it does seen from above. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. It makes an easy small gift: tuck a pair of earrings or a few hair ties inside, and the tin becomes part of the present.
