The rusk tin has a loose chrome lid with a rusk lift.

The popular Patrice design by Patrice van Uden was first introduced by Brabantia in 1970. This design is one of the most recognizable due to its brown and cyclamen coloured flowers on an orange background.

The “flower element” was first cut from paper, then assembled and then screen printed in two colours for the “craft look” of the pattern. The design became one of the most popular Brabantia designs ever. It is still used in many Dutch households.

Brabantia is a company founded in the Dutch village of Aalst and manufactures metal and plastic household products. Today, the head office is located in Valkenswaard, North Brabant. Production no longer takes place in the Netherlands.

The company started in 1919 with 15 employees under the name Van Elderen & Co. It was originally a metal goods company that supplied to agriculture and the cigar industry: milk sieves, buckets, funnels, watering cans and cigar tins.

When it was founded in 1919, the company was named "Van Elderen & Co". After some time the name changed to "Van Elderen's Metalware Factories Brabantia". From about 1941 the first part of the name has been omitted, and it is only "Brabantia". Brabantia is the Latin word for Brabant (Dutch Province).

Brabantia was founded in 1919 in the Dutch town of Aalst by a group of 15 people. A family business pur sang. Then and now. With a firm belief in honest products, made by people with a heart for quality. Ideas focused on sustainability - designed for living.
