A mid-20th-century octagonal, ginger-jar style biscuit tin produced for Scribbans-Kemp (Bakeries) Limited. The tin features vibrant floral lithograph artwork showcasing roses and cottage garden blooms set against deep red stippled panels and metallic trellis framing.
This piece dates to circa 1950, reflecting the post-war era when Scribbans-Kemp expanded rapidly across the UK, operating major baking facilities in London and Birmingham. During the 1950s, decorative tinware was designed intentionally for households to retain and reuse as keepsake boxes long after the biscuits inside were consumed.
Dimensions: 10 x 9 cm
Approximate Era: Circa 1950s
Markings: Stamped "SK - A SCRIBBANS-KEMP PRODUCT / SCRIBBANS-KEMP (BAKERIES) LIMITED, LONDON AND BRANCHES" on the base
Condition: Very good (displays light age-related cosmetic wear and slight surface patina while retaining bright graphics and a secure lid)
This piece would suit country cottage, vintage kitchenalia, cottagecore, or floral maximalist decor styles.
