This embossed metal tin, believed made by The Metal Box Co under a licensed agreement with Crown Derby, translates the pattern into a footed round biscuit tin with an elegant finial lid: navy blue ground, pink florals, gold filigree swirls. Embossed construction gives the surface real depth. Printed on the bottom: "Made in England, Crown Derby."
A standout piece for the serious English tin collector, the Royal Crown Derby enthusiast, or anyone who loves the Imari palette. Increasingly difficult to find in this condition.
Royal Crown Derby's Traditional Imari is one of English ceramics' most enduring and celebrated patterns — deep cobalt blue, rich red, and gold, borrowing from 18th-century Japanese Imari porcelain.
We carry several other English biscuit tins — search the shop to build a collection.
