Four Metal Flowered Tins; Larger Handled Tin from 1950s, Medium Wang and Bunte Round Tins from 1970s, and Wee Marigold Soap Tin from retailer 1980s

I have been collecting flowered tins and now have a really fun set to offer on Warmth & Cheer. There are four tins in the set and they came from a variety of places - local estate sales and vintage shops and a UK vendor. I love them together!

1 - Vintage Large Oval Basket Tin with attached handles. The piece is lithographed to look like a picnic basket and has the most adorable rose bouquet on the top. The handles are firmly attached and they move freely up and down. It would be perfect as a sewing box, craft box, stationary and note writing station, cookie tin, etc. It has so many ways it could be repurposed, and look adorable while doing it! There is wear and light oxidation on the bottom. It is clean. It does have scratches and small dings commensurate with its age but overall very nice. No manufacturer markings on the piece. Dimensions: 7" tall with handles up, 4 1/4" without handles, 11" long, 8 1/2" wide

2 - Bunte Assorted Chocolates Tin from Chicago Illinois. Really amazing teal blue background color with a lovely assortment of spring flowers in yellow and pink hues with a spot of white and red and greenery thrown in to balance the colors. Dark blue ribbon completes the bouquet. The tin is made of metal, and was a 2 pound chocolate assortment container. You can store whatever you'd like in it - perfect for a button tin, craft supplies or this-n-that. It also displays well and would add a pop of color to a spring or summer mantel or shelf display. It is in amazing shape with only the slightest of denting in the top that is only visible from the underside and NO RUST! There are small scratches along the top, rims and sides. This could easily be re-used in your pantry for food stuffs as it is very clean. The lid fits nicely on the bottom. It is marked Bunte Assorted Chocolates Net Weight Two Pounds Made by Bunte Brothers, Chicago, USA with an Ingredient list all along the outside rim of the top. Dimensions: 8 3/8" diameter, 2" high with lid on.

3 - This is a really cool piece, and rather hard to find without a lot of rust. The tin was made by Wang's retailer International Inc. in Memphis Tennessee. It has the most lovely assortment of spring flowers in pink and yellow hues with a spot of purple and greenery thrown in to balance the colors. The tin is made of metal, and likely once held cookies, biscuits or candy, but you can store whatever you'd like in it. Perfect for a button tin, craft supplies or this-n-that. It also displays well and would add a pop of color to a spring or summer mantel or shelf display. It is in amazing shape with only the slightest of denting in the top that is only visible from the underside and NO RUST! There is one small scratch in the top as well, that I only just now noticed when writing this description. This could easily be re-used in your pantry for food stuffs as it is very clean. The lid fits nicely on the painted olive green bottom. It is embossed Made in USA Wang's International Inc. Memphis Tennessee. There is also an older True Value price sticker on there and the remnants of another sticker that maybe was the label for the original product? This displays well and could be just the final touch you are looking for! The colors could easily lend itself to any season and it would look darling on the coffee table for organizing those small items that always seem to be about! Dimensions: 6 1/2" diameter, 2" high with lid on

4 - Vintage Marigold Field Soap Wee Tin from the 1980s. This is a darling little octagonal tin with English garden scenes on the top and sides in bright green, with orange and blue accents. It has Marigold on the top, I suspect that was the scent used in the soap it used to contain. The bottom has the original label Fine English Soap 75g Made in England by Ian Logan Limited, London EC1 (c) 1983 Ian Logan Limited. Really nice condition, some surface oxidation on the inside and edge wear along the top from opening and closing. Dimensions: 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"x 1 3/4" tall
