Description
This pair of storage tins brings the look of an old-fashioned soup can to a kitchen worktop, each one wrapped in a Vegetable Broth label in rich, vintage-style colours. Both are made from tinplate, with a gold-toned rim and a gold-toned inside. The larger tin, marked Harvest Variety, is a deep green printed with a heap of red and orange pumpkins, squash flowers and leaves, and measures about 11cm across and 13cm tall. The smaller tin, marked Garden Variety, has a mustard band above green and a bunch of long green and yellow squash with a little pumpkin, and stands about 10cm across and 12cm tall.
Open at the top, both tins are made for the things you reach for every day. In the kitchen they keep wooden spoons, spatulas and whisks upright beside the hob, and on a desk they gather pens, pencils, scissors and highlighters in one place. They work just as well on a craft table for paintbrushes, crochet hooks and reels of ribbon, or on a dressing table for make-up brushes. Because one is a little taller than the other, they sit together nicely on a shelf or windowsill, the green tin behind and the mustard one in front.
Tinplate is light yet sturdy, and the printed labels give each tin the feel of something found on a grocer's shelf decades ago. To keep the print looking bright, wipe the tins with a soft dry cloth, or a barely damp one for marks, and dry them straight away; keep them away from standing water. We like them side by side on an open shelf where their labels can be read, and as a pair they make an easy, cheerful gift for anyone who loves a touch of retro kitchen style.
