Vintage Circular Lithographed Biscuit Tin with Floral Medallions

A sophisticated circular storage tin, likely manufactured for biscuits or premium confectionery. The piece is constructed from tin-plated steel featuring high-quality lithographed graphics. The color palette is dominated by a dusty lavender-grey base, accented with deep rose pink and ornate gold-tone scrollwork. The central lid design features a large rose-colored circle with a scalloped cream border, containing a miniature floral bouquet at the direct center surrounded by a serrated gold ring. Around this central motif are four larger oval medallions containing pink roses and four smaller circular medallions with yellow flowers, all connected by an intricate mosaic-style background pattern. The sides of the tin continue the motif with a repeating pattern of circular frames and scalloped borders. Based on the ornate, neo-classical revival style and the quality of the lithography, this item likely dates back to the mid-20th century, approximately 1940-1960. Condition appears vintage with noticeable surface wear; there are small dark spots on the lid indicating localized oxidation where the finish has thinned, and minor scuffing along the edges of the lid. No major dents or structural deformities are visible in the image. This piece exhibits characteristic craftsmanship of European tin-ware from manufacturers like Huntley & Palmers or Carr & Co.
