New arrival to my Collection... : )

all round fantastic condition...gold on lid is the first to go..the problem with mine

It's a beautiful tin. There are a few others in this series. All lovely.

Lovely tin Sophie .. I have never bought one ..Not so much appeal for me.
I prefer tins with Advertising rather than just pictorial .
The quality is there , but just does not appeal to me , although I have the Mazawattee
" Dis is grand tea " , which is a similar style.

 all round great iconic tin no advertising but like my huntley and palmer tins and peek frean tins ect the graphics are truly stunning

This is a superb example. Really never saw it in this fine condition. Thanks for sharing those beauties.

Here the mine with victorian portraits. 

All the best, Mario.

This belonged to a good friend of mine. Sadly he died, many years ago. His wife needed the money so she sold off his collection. Yorkshire John from the Portobello gave her a good deal, bless him. She let me pick two and she kept this one herself.

Each image has a legend but I don't think there is any reference to the illustrator. They might well be by a well known artist though, given the quality.
