Dutch Droste Cacao Tin – Blue & White Oval Tin with Sailboats, Pastoral Scenes |

Sail away to simpler times with this charming vintage Droste cacao tin from Haarlem, Holland. Measuring approximately 6" x 4" x 3", this blue and white oval tin is adorned with tranquil pastoral scenes, sailboats, and classic Dutch countryside vignettes—each detail rendered in traditional Delft-style blue. In excellent vintage condition with no rust, the tin retains its tight-fitting lid and a naturally aged patina that enhances its authenticity. Whether placed on a windowsill, tucked into a curio cabinet, or used to hold dried herbs, buttons, tea bags, or handwritten notes, it offers both beauty and story. Styling Ideas: In a châteaucore vignette: display on an aged wooden sideboard beside antique books, wax-sealed letters, and dried florals or a feather quill. In a cottagecore nook: nestle it on a lace doily, paired with fresh wildflowers, homespun cloth, and an enamel teacup. For modern vintage appeal: add to an MCM shelf for a soft, contrasting pop of old-world charm. Perfect For: ☑ Lovers of pastoral and maritime scenes ☑ European farmhouse or French provincial styling ☑ Storage with character—jewelry, keepsakes, or tea bags ☑ Holiday displays or romantic photo props Likely produced between the 1940s–50s, this Dutch export tin captures the timeless charm of post-war European design.
