Bold, cheerful and unmistakably 60s/70s - this large biscuit tin bursts with peacock plumes and stylised blooms in golden yellows, reds and greens - a bright pop of vintage for kitchen shelves or craft storage!

A striking vintage cookie/biscuit tin with a full-front peacock amid op-art florals. The saturated palette and graphic linework place it firmly in the late-1960s to 1970s era, when boho folk motifs met pop colours.

The rectangular body has rolled edges and a lift-off lid with a fine gold keyline border; sides repeat the flower pattern. Perfect for biscuits, tea lights, sewing notions, or stationery.

Origin & Maker

From the late 19th to mid-20th century, lithographed tinplate was the star of shop counters.

Brands commissioned reusable tins for tea, cocoa, biscuits, coffee, tobacco, and remedies, supplying grocers, chemists, and tobacconists with eye-catching point-of-sale display.

Brilliant colour printing, crisp typography and period styling - Art Nouveau swirls, Deco geometry, later mid-century bolds -turned everyday containers into miniature billboards. Airtight lids kept contents fresh while the tins lived on in pantries, so the advertising lingered in homes for years.

Produced across Britain and Europe (notably France and Germany) as well as the USA, these sturdy survivors now carry gentle wear and patina that testify to honest use - exactly the authenticity collectors cherish.
