This yellow cylindrical tin, adorned with three graceful rows of coloured flowers and surrounded by sheaves of wheat, is not only a tribute to craftsmanship but also a tangible reminder of Verkade's crucial role in the development of the Dutch food industry.

The story begins in 1886 when Ericus Gerhardus Verkade opened 'De Ruyter,' a Steam Bread and Beschuit (rusk) Factory on the Zaan. What started with bread and beschuit grew into a culinary institution that would later receive the royal designation in 1950.

The Verkade beschuit tin, with its light yellow background and detailed flowers in red, yellow, and blue, is not just a storage container. It is an aesthetic masterpiece that has withstood the test of time. The loose slip-on lid, with its red flower accent, adds a touch of luxury to this collectable.
