tea tin (Holland)
I picked up this old tea tin during our most recent trip to the Netherlands and loved that the paper wrapping was still attached but the pièce de résistance was the label on the bottom – made my graphic designer's heart skip a beat!
The paper is a bit tattered and torn (please see photos) but the simple graphics and wonderful name The Peacock Brand make this a lovely addition to your kitchen. The lid is a bit hard to get on and off so it might not be the best for daily use. After a bit of online research, it appears that this tin likely dates to 1935-1940.

souvenir biscuit tin (Holland)
I found this biscuit tin in Holland during our most recent trip and loved the depiction of the Rijksmuseum, the national museum in Amsterdam.
The tin is well loved and has plenty of tarnish, wear, and even a spot of rust here and there but that just adds to its charm in my opinion. It's made by Patria and shows the logo on two of the sides as well as on the bottom in the form of an embossed logo, which reads "PATRIA Quality Biscuits Amsterdam Holland."
Great to display behind ironstone in a hutch or use to corral mail in your office.
SIZE: 10.25" x 6.75" x 2"

biscuit tin (France)
I found this large biscuit tin at a market in France, and while orange is not normally a color I'm drawn to, it was the graphics that really appealed to me – plus tins make for fabulous storage so this large size would be perfect in a kitchen or office!
The text on the lid translates to "the good biscuits of Fabis in large family tin as before" and the "F" logo at the top is flanked by wheat and fruits. Two of the sides have the same text while the other two sides have the "F" logo and the address in Épinay-sur-Orge, a town just south of Paris.
There is certainly some discoloration along with some small dents and scratches but the lid comes on and off easily so it's a great piece that still has years of service in it.

English snuff tin
How cool are the graphics on this little snuff tin? A great piece to add to your tobacciana collection or simply display with other tins, ironstone or jam jars.
The graphics read “Rumney’s Peppermint Snuff, manufactured only by James Illingsforth, Ltd, Kendal England.” As a graphic designer, I can really appreciate the pretty scroll work illustration on the front and the cute little rooster on a moon on the back.
The lid is quite rusted on top and no longer comes off the tin.

Fishing box with contents (France)
I picked up this little box at an estate sale of a dear friend and artist who spent many summers in France trolling through various flea markets in search of small treasures to include in her collages. I was attracted to the graphics on the top ("Albens reels are made for fishing") and then found it was filled with little fishing supplies, likely not what was originally in the box.
The box contains two little booklets that have unused fishing lines, six plastic bubbles (floats?), two larger pieces of lead and a glassine package of tiny lead pieces. Fun to turn into a framed shadow box piece of art for a fishing fanatic! Or leave all the contents in place and display the box lid for its fabulous graphics. Either way, this little box deserves to live on a bit longer.
SIZE: 3" cube box

bottle top (France)
These old porcelain tops were once part of the old iconic green glass canning jars. While the bottles may be long gone, the graphic appeal of these tops is what must have caused previous owners to hang onto them, rather than toss them out along with the glass shards.
Made by the brand L'Idéale, these tops are made of thick, durable porcelain. They're sold separately, one still with its original metal closure mechanism. Each has signs of age: A (left) has a chip on the top rim and on the bottom along with stains while B (right) has no chips or stains but does have remnants of an old orange rubber seal along the side.
Each can be hung by a string through its holes or simply displayed as part of a vignette.
SIZE: 2.75" long x 2" wide x 1.25" thick (excludes metal on B)

enamel inhaler (Belgium)
This old-fashioned enamelware inhaler has the most beautiful graphics! Found in Belgium, the top unhooks from the bottom pot and is emblazoned with a large shield insignia that reads "Inhalateur Aseptique" of the brand Phenix.
Overall the piece is in great condition with just a few small chips and spots of rust. The mouth piece is completely intact and could still be used today.
A perfect farmhouse decor piece, especially if you love typography and old graphics.

candy tin
I'm a graphic designer so naturally I love packaging, even when the graphics are a bit worn like on this old candy tin from France. I love the lettering, the illustration of the woman and the two crests on either side - not to mention the aged patina!
The lid has a small tear in one corner and a dent/ripple on one side (see photos) but it still comes on and off with ease, making this tin perfect to store bits and bobs, maybe use it as a pen/pencil case or fill it with candy, as originally intended.
SIZE: 6.75" long x 3.25" wide x 1.375" tall
