    FOR SALE ☞
    Antique IDEAL BLEND TEAS tin with ornate scrollwork—early 1900s tea canister, great for display or rustic kitchen decor.

    DESCRIPTION ☞
    This antique "IDEAL BLEND TEAS" tin is a striking example of early 20th-century commercial packaging. Featuring rich brown tones and detailed gold scrollwork, the design is both elegant and bold, with "IDEAL BLEND TEAS" prominently displayed on both faces. The canister has its original pull-tab lid still intact—a rare and desirable feature among collectors.

    Likely dating from the 1910s–1920s, this square tin would have originally held loose tea and stood proudly on a grocer's shelf. Its rich patina and worn character add to its charm, making it ideal for rustic farmhouse kitchens, tea-themed displays, or early advertising collections. The brand is unmarked on the back, which is common for tins from this period.

    Whether you're a collector of antique tins or simply want a nostalgic decorative piece, this is a beautiful slice of tea history.

    DIMENSIONS ☞
    Approx. 13 cm tall × 13 cm wide × 10.5 cm deep
    Weight: approx. 250 g (unboxed)

    CONDITION ☞
    Good antique condition with strong visual appeal. Rusting and oxidation present on the lid and base, consistent with age and storage. Some wear to the graphics, especially on one side where surface corrosion has partially obscured the design. The lid fits and can be lifted with the original wire tab, but is firmly aged in place. Please refer to photos for exact condition. Color may differ slightly in real life from how it appears on your screen due to varying monitor settings.
