Title: Mother of Pearl, early 1880s [Go to resource]
Description: This tin is decorated using the 'moire metallique' process, said to have been introduced from France in the early nineteenth century. The process could not be used to apply a design but gave the metal surface some textural interest which had the practical advantage of hiding small blemishes in the metal. It is used to highlight the sky and water elements in the design of the 'Viking' tin.
