Product Description:
This characteristic Pickwick tea tin is a beautiful example of vintage Dutch design from the period 1950-1995, made by Douwe Egberts. The tin has a square shape with scalloped edges, a removable lid, and refined rolled edges, giving it a unique and decorative appearance.

The tin’s decoration features a green marbled background with gold-coloured ornaments, with the brand name "Pickwick Tea Douwe Egberts" clearly displayed in oval frames. On both sides, nostalgic images of a horse-drawn carriage enhance the classic look of the tin. The bottom is embossed with the text "Douwe Egberts Joure Utrecht Pickwick Tea," and the tin originally held 80 grams of tea, divided into 20 tea bags of 4 grams each.

Dimensions:
With dimensions of 10.5 cm wide, 11.2 cm high, and 10.5 cm long, this tin is not only a functional item but also a stylish addition to any kitchen or collector's display. Please note! The lids of most of these tins tend to be quite tight, and unfortunately, this particular tin is no exception.

Condition:
The condition of the tin is vintage, with clear signs of use and wear appropriate for its age. Photos are available to accurately assess the item's state.

This unique tea tin not only offers a piece of Dutch tea history but also makes a beautiful decorative addition to any interior.
