🛠 About This Product

This round tin is decorated all around with a charming pattern of stylised birds and flowers. The soft yellow-beige background contrasts beautifully with the green, pink and golden-brown details.

The lid is equally richly decorated, while the gold-coloured metal interior adds to its distinctive appearance. Together, these details make the tin a fine example of decorative Dutch packaging design from the mid-20th century.

Signs of use, small scratches and areas of wear are consistent with the age of the tin and contribute to its authentic vintage character. Please examine the photos carefully, as they form an important part of the product description.
