Cavendish & Harvey and Mixed Vintage Lithographed Tinplate Containers - This collection comprises several vintage decorative lithographed tinplate containers in various forms. The lot includes a gold-toned round confectionery tin from Cavendish & Harvey, with legible text reading Soft Fruit Drops and Made in England. There are two tall cylindrical tins featuring hinged lids and metal handles; one is decorated with an 18th-century pastoral scene, while the other displays a red and green tartan pattern around a central illustration of a castle. The group also features a large rectangular casket-style tin in cream with gold-tone scrolling and two oval portraits on the lid. Two octagonal tins are present: a green example with embossed Rococo scrolling and a central figure, and a white-based tin decorated with Dutch windmills. Completing the set is a shallow round tin with a vibrant floral lid featuring zinnias and daisies against a gradient background.
