Description
This floral tin case is shaped like a little suitcase and wears the Tilde print, a cheerful scatter of red, pink, blue and yellow flowers with small green leaves on a soft white ground. The pattern runs across the lid, front, back and edges, so it looks good from all round, while the inside is plain silver metal. It is made of tinplate with a glossy red plastic carry handle on top, and it measures 19cm long, 8cm deep and 13.5cm tall, or 16.8cm to the top of the handle. At 0.22KG it is light enough to carry about without a second thought.
We like it on a bedroom shelf, a desk or a dressing table, where it keeps small odds and ends together and out of sight instead of scattered across the surface. At 8cm deep it sits happily on a narrow shelf, and its flat base lets it stand neatly on its own. The handle means it can be lifted down and carried from room to room, so whatever is inside goes where you go. It suits anyone who loves a pretty floral and likes useful things to look cheerful too, and it brings a bright, cottage-garden feel to any room.
The case is made from tinplate, hinged along one long edge, with a metal catch beside the handle that keeps the lid secure once it is closed. The red plastic handle is held in metal fittings, so it lifts comfortably when you carry it. To keep the print bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it with a slightly damp one and dry it straight away, as tinplate is happiest kept dry. Tuck something small and lovely inside and it makes a cheerful present, or simply set it on a shelf where its flowers can be seen every day.
