Description
This little metal storage tin with lid looks just like a tin of fish from an old-fashioned grocer's shelf. The lift-off lid carries a bright green print of a pale blue tuna with a dark stripe along its side, swimming beneath a white ribbon banner that reads "Artisan". Black olives, yellow leaves and a slice of lemon sit around it, with "Olive Oil" and "& Lemon" in the top corners and "Albacore Tuna" in bold lettering across the bottom. The same name runs along the long side with the words "Artisan fish with lemon", and a small fish decorates the end. It measures 10cm long, 6.5cm wide and 3.2cm high.
Inside it holds a space about 9cm long, 5cm wide and 2cm deep, which is just right for the small things that otherwise go astray: paper clips and drawing pins on a desk, spare coins by the front door, hair grips on a dressing table, or buttons and beads in a craft drawer. It sits flat on a shelf or desk top and is small enough to slip into a bag. Because it looks so much like a real tin of tuna, it brings a playful note to a kitchen shelf or a home office, and it makes a fun talking point wherever it lands.
It is made of metal with a smooth printed finish outside and plain bright metal inside, and the lid lifts off with no hinge to work loose. At just 45g it is light to carry about. To keep the print looking fresh, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water, as you would any printed metal tin. We like it on an open shelf where the print can be seen, or tucked into a parcel as a small, cheerful present that will keep earning its place long after the wrapping comes off.

Frequently Asked
How big is the tuna storage tin?
On the outside it measures 10cm long, 6.5cm wide and 3.2cm high. Inside there is room of about 9cm long, 5cm wide and 2cm deep.
Does the lid have a hinge or does it lift off?
The lid lifts off completely. It is a separate piece that sits snugly over the base, so there is no hinge to bend or work loose over time.
What is the tin made from?
It is made of metal, printed in green on the outside with a plain bright metal finish inside, and it weighs a light 45g.
What can I keep in a tin this small?
It suits the little things that go missing, such as paper clips, drawing pins, spare coins, hair grips, buttons or beads, on a desk, dressing table or shelf.
Is the design printed on the sides as well as the lid?
Yes. The long side reads "Albacore Tuna" with the words "Artisan fish with lemon" beneath, and a small fish is printed on the end of the tin.
How should I look after the printed finish?
As good practice for printed metal, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water so the print stays bright and the metal stays in good condition.
