This is a great mid century modern tin canister featuring a Picasso style abstract floral line design in red on a warm cream background. The simplicity of the linework paired with the soft industrial form gives it that perfect mix of modernist art and functional design.

These types of tins were often produced in the mid 20th century as decorative household storage, pulling heavily from the popularity of Pablo Picasso inspired line art that was trending at the time. It’s not a Picasso piece, but clearly designed in that influence, which is exactly what collectors look for in this category.

Solid metal construction with fitted lid. Works great as a kitchen canister, utensil holder, or display piece in a curated MCM space.
