Vintage Cylindrical Tin Canister for Sugar with Floral Decoration

Product Description:
This vintage cylindrical tin canister, designed for storing sugar, dates back to the 1960s. The canister features a cream-white background adorned with a floral decoration of nasturtiums, depicted in red and green. The floral design graces both the front of the canister and the lid. The lid is equipped with a rolled edge, contributing to the secure closure of the canister, while the bottom also has a rolled edge. A crimped longitudinal seam is visible at the back.

The word "SUIKER" (Dutch for "SUGAR") is prominently displayed in bold orange/red block letters, clearly indicating the canister’s intended use.

Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus):
The floral decoration on the canister features the nasturtium, an annual plant from the Tropaeolaceae family. This plant is known for its trailing and sometimes climbing growth habit, with grey-green leaves that resemble a shield. The botanical name, Tropaeolum, is derived from the Latin word "tropaeum," meaning a tree adorned with weapons, a symbol of victory.

This canister combines aesthetic charm with functional utility and is an interesting piece for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage kitchen accessories.
