Vintage set by Verkade. Gingerbread tin and biscuit tin, nasturtiums
SKU: 791Biscuit tin and gingerbread tin by Verkade with design of nasturtiums.
Lovely pair! This biscuit and gingerbread tin by Verkade are most likely one of the best known designs by Verkade. Verkade was a real pioneer in the field of packaging design and advertising. In 1932 he had a new design for a Storage Container for biscuits made by his own advertising assistant Cees Dekker. That was the yellow biscuit with the motif of stylized nasturtium or Indian cress. Both tins are decorated with a checkered pattern.
