This cylindrical biscuit tin carries the same two alternating Asian floral designs as the octagonal version we also carry — one in blue, pink, and green; the other in yellow, orange, and blue, with a charming bird perched on a branch. Embossed on the bottom: "Container Made in England." The design is consistent with Daher's work, though the tin itself was made by The Metal Box Co.

For the serious English tin collector or anyone building a chinoiserie display.

The Metal Box Co. produced tinware for numerous English brands and designers throughout the mid-20th century, including designs licensed from or consistent with Daher's popular chinoiserie patterns.
