UNIQUE Antique/Vintage 20th Cent. Australian 35mm film can biscuit tin
$125
Offered for sale is this antique/vintage 20th Century Australian hand-painted decorative item, most likely dating from 1919 to 1939. Despite extensive research am currently unable to offer further information on the artist (M G Davis), however given the style and subject matter it appears their artwork may have been inspired by Jonathan A Crisp’s ‘kookaburra’ range of plates issued by Royal Staffordshire.
This one-off piece is a wonderful example an original item being repurposed to create something truly unique. The artist has taken a 35mm film reel canister (most likely made by the Eastman Kodak Company) and converted it into a biscuit tin! The hand-applied, naive-style decoration consists of two kookaburras perched on a branch – one chatting, the other listening intently. The interior still has a removable paper lining fitted to catch any biscuit crumbs.
A perfect gift for the film-buff who has everything or kitchenalia/Australiana collector. Utterly charming and engaging decorators item for any home or business – what a great conversation starter!
The tin is in very good overall condition, there is patination and wear as you’d expect from this being a correct antique/vintage item and not modern reproduction.
Measures 28cm (diameter) x 4.2cm (h) approximately.
