House Shaped Lidded Tin Pink Brick with Blue Shingle Roof, 1995

A figural tin shaped and printed as a two story pink brick townhouse, complete with arched fanlight windows, lace curtains, window boxes of geraniums and hollyhocks, clipped topiaries flanking the front steps, and a white cat dozing on a sill. The lid forms the roof and is embossed in overlapping blue shingles that you can feel under your fingers. One face carries a stained glass transom over the front door with 1995 lettered above it, and a girl leans from an upper window. The other elevation shows a side garden with a wicker chair and a broom by the door. Charming as a shelf piece on its own, and useful for tea bags, recipe cards, or small treasures. Light surface wear consistent with age. Vintage house tin, figural cookie tin, cottage decor, pink and blue decor, collectible tin box. 6" tall
