Description

These retro storage tins come as a pair: a pink lobster tin and a turquoise crab tin, printed in the style of old tinned seafood labels. The lobster tin carries a bright red lobster on a pale oval beneath bold blue lettering, while the crab tin shows a red crab framed by little ribbons, with its name in red along the bottom. Both are tinplate with ribbed sides, just like a real tin, and the insides and rims have a warm golden finish. The pair comes in two sizes. In Mini, the lobster tin is 8cm across and 7.5cm high and the crab tin is 7cm across and 6.5cm high. In Medium, the lobster tin is 11cm across and 13cm high and the crab tin is 10cm across and 12cm high.

We find the Medium tins tall enough to keep pens, pencils, scissors and paintbrushes upright on a desk, or wooden spoons and spatulas close at hand on the kitchen worktop. The Mini tins suit smaller things: paper clips, hair grips, rings and earrings on a dressing table, or buttons and thread in a sewing corner. Because the lobster tin stands a little taller than the crab tin, the two sit nicely side by side, and their pink and turquoise bring a cheerful seaside note to a kitchen, a home office or a craft table.

The printed design covers the front of each tin, while the plain golden metal shows inside and around the rim. To keep the print bright, wipe them with a soft damp cloth and dry them straight away, as you would any tinplate. Line them up on a shelf with the taller lobster tin at the back, or split the pair between kitchen and desk; tied together with a ribbon, they make a cheerful little present too.
