🛠 About the product

This distinctive tin was designed for storing peperkoek or ontbijtkoek, traditional Dutch spiced breakfast cake. The hinged lid is located at one end of the tin. Once opened, the wooden board can be slid out, allowing the cake to be conveniently cut into slices.

The elongated shape, chrome handle and striking orange colour make this tin instantly recognisable as a characteristic 1970s design.
