This cylinder carries two alternating chinoiserie panels in blue, orange, and yellow: one featuring a bird perched on a flowering branch, the other with flowers and a butterfly. The round finial lid lifts off cleanly. Stamped on the bottom: "Designed by Daher, Long Island NY, Made in England."
A handsome display piece for the English tin collector or a chinoiserie vignette. Practical too — the right diameter to conceal a standard roll of bathroom tissue in a powder room.
Daher Limited of England produced some of the mid-century's most recognizable decorative tinware, designed in Long Island, NY and manufactured in England for export back to the American market.
