I picked this tin up at a "Trash and Treasure" market. The lady who sold it to me told me it was Dutch, other than that I don't know very much about it at all. It now lives in my kitchen, it has nothing inside, it's only purpose is to look nice.The blue Dutch tin sits next to a giant empty olive oil tin. I wanted to start collecting big olive oil tins after I came back from Greece, where I had noticed them being used as plant pots. Clusters of plants in tins; all rusty with relics of text and pictures from underneath the foliage. The trouble was that it took us soooooo long to get through the first tin, that I gave up on the quest, and now it stands as a type of trophy to the copius amount of grease we consumed.
