Cheerful mid-century canister with a collage of British holiday imagery all round: lidos and boating lakes, chorus-line dancers, promenades and parades. Octagonal form with lift-off lid; warm, time-faded colours give it that perfect retro-kitchen vibe and it makes excellent storage for tea, trinkets or sewing bits.

Good, honest vintage condition. The printed surfaces show scratches, scuffs and small losses, with light speckling and a few shallow dings to corners and lid rim from decades of use; the inside is clean with age toning. Displays brilliantly with nostalgic charm.

Size reads from the tape at about 12 cm high; roughly 15 x 12 cm across the body.
