set of 3 vintage Worcester Ware storage tins with floral pattern

We treated ourselves to some new kitchen tins this week. Actually bought for us – intentionally bought with a specific purpose in mind – not stock that we’ve commandeered or filtered off to live with for a while!!

These gorgeous 1960s tins with stylised flowers are our new tea, coffee & sugar receptacles.

They were made by Worcester Ware – another example of the lovely vintage metal ware that this company produced.

We can now decant all our ugly refill packets into these pretty tins.

We think the colours work well with others in the kitchen – slate, beech wood, cream cupboards & sink – and of course, bright orange walls.

vintage 1950s tin Worcester ware waste paper bin

We don’t often do blog posts about waste paper bins, but this one was so nice we had to give it a mention.

It dates from the 1950s and features chic French scenes – a very fashionable decorative theme from this era.

The bin was made by Worcester Ware – a company well worth looking out for as they produced some fabulous everyday metalware – tins, trays, placemats etc.

It would fit perfectly into a French look, shabby chic bedroom or 50s-inspired lounge.
