Description
This round metal storage tin is covered in a cheerful wild flower print, drawn in the style of an old botanical chart. Red poppies, blue cornflowers, pink dog roses, foxgloves, bluebells, asters, cowslips and common mallow spill across a creamy white ground. Each flower carries a small number, with its common and Latin names printed in a neat line around the base. The lift-off lid has its own wreath of blooms on top, so the tin looks just as good from above on an open shelf. It stands 15.4cm tall and 10.5cm across, with 14cm of depth inside.
We like it on a kitchen worktop, where it keeps wrapped teabags, sachets, cookie cutters or kitchen string tidy and close to hand. It works equally well away from the kitchen: on a desk for pens and pencils, beside a sewing basket for reels of thread and buttons, or on a dressing table for hair ties and clips. With that 14cm of depth inside it holds a good handful, and the round shape sits neatly in a corner or in a row of jars. The labelled print is a pleasure to read over a cup of tea, and a gentle way to learn a few Latin names.
It is made of metal, with a plain silver finish inside, and the lid sits over the rim to close it. At 145g it is light enough to lift down from a high shelf with one hand. To keep the print bright, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, as is good practice with any printed metal. Set it beside other tins and jars for a relaxed country kitchen look, or fill it with something small and wrap it up as a cheerful gift that will be used every day.
