Interesting tin circa 1910 by Hudson Scott and Sons LTD., Carlisle. Probably designed for biscuits / sweets, its U.S.P. is the advice on base that it is 'made watertight for use as a flower vase' - early recycling! The body decoration is pressed in the Arts & Crafts style, with repoussée 'hammering and riveting'. Newlynesque galleons, Nouveau designs. Subtly domed lid fits well. Good colour and aging. A few upper pin holes. £45 #blackdogcountry #blackdogcountryantiques #bondslifestyle #herefordshireantiques #herefordshireantiquesandinteriors #biscuittin #hudsonscott (at Herefordshire Antiques & Interiors)
