Description
The popular vintage cookie jar 'Patrice' from the traditional Dutch brand Brabantia and with the design designed by Patrice van Uden. This beautifully designed cookie jar is made of sheet steel, so no tin. Heavy quality! The cookie jar has a slanted bottom.

The decoration of this drum consists of an orange background with stylized fuchsia flowers.

The popular Patrice design by Patrice van Uden was introduced by Brabantia in 1970. This design is recognizable by 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.

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

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

When founded in 1919, the company was called "Van Elderen & Co". After some time the name was changed to "Van Elderen's Metaalwarenfabrieken 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.

Brabantia was founded in 1919 in the Dutch town of Aalst by a group of 15 people. A family business through and through. 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.
