Description
These storage tins come as a pair of round, open tins in a retro spice label design, each printed with a yellow and dark brown tuc-tuc beneath bold "Tuc Tuc" lettering and a row of little yellow stars. The larger tin is teal green and labelled "Coriander", and the smaller is a warm pink labelled "Turmeric". Both have ridged sides like an old-fashioned food can, thin gold-coloured bands near the top and base, and a bright gold-toned inside. The larger tin is about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller about 10cm across and 12cm tall, so they line up neatly side by side.
We like them best on a kitchen worktop or an open shelf, standing upright as utensil pots for wooden spoons, spatulas and whisks, where the cheerful colours bring a bit of street-food warmth to the room. The taller tin suits long-handled tools, while the smaller one keeps shorter spoons, spreaders and tongs within easy reach. Because the two are different heights, they sit together in a pleasing step, and the teal and pink play nicely against white tiles, painted wood or a pale shelf. They also make a bright and useful gift.
Each tin is made of tin, with a rolled rim and a flat base so it stands steadily on a worktop or shelf. There are no lids, so they work best as open pots for the things you reach for every day rather than for sealed storage. To keep the print looking bright, wipe the outside with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and avoid soaking, which is good practice for any printed metal. Set the teal and pink pair together for the full retro grocery look, or tie a ribbon round them for a cheerful present.
