Title: Workbasket, 1954-1956 [Go to resource]
Description: This striking design by William Mundy was obviously a successful one as it was produced again between 1959 and 1962, and again in 1975. In each case there were slight variations in the design and shape of tin used, but all the tins are recognizable as variations on this basic theme. Rather than creating a sombre effect the black background seems to enhance the colours and give them a jewel-like quality. The careful embossing adds to this illusion and, in a period when tins were increasingly cheaply produced, this must have given this particular tin a richer quality.
