Vintage Nevco Flower Power Nesting Canisters Set of 2 British Hong Kong Metal Tins

This vintage Nevco flower power nesting canister set includes two painted metal storage tins with bright blue, red, white, and navy floral graphics.

The smaller canister fits inside the larger one for compact storage, while the bold striped pattern brings a proper bit of 1970s color to a kitchen, craft room, or retro display.

  • The turquoise, red, white, and navy flower power graphics remain bright and easy to see.
  • The bottom mark remains readable on the larger canister.

Issues / Wear

  • The painted exteriors have small scratches, rubbed edges, finish loss, and isolated dark marks.

Collector's Notes

Nevco imported a wide range of colorful household and kitchen pieces, and this set carries the British Hong Kong mark associated with export goods from that period.

It suits a collector of 1970s kitchenware or someone adding strong mod color to a shelf, counter, or craft room.

The nesting design makes this two piece set practical to store when it is not on display.

The flowers are cheerful. The insides are more honest about having lived in a kitchen.

Disclaimer

All items are vintage and may show signs of age, wear, or use consistent with their history. Photos show the exact condition of each piece—please review them carefully, as they are part of the description. 

While I do my best to capture colors accurately, your monitor or device screen may display colors slightly differently from the actual item.

Please Note:
These pieces come from estate collections and have been surface cleaned. You may wish to perform additional cleaning depending on your preference.

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
