Vintage HOVIS bread tins have patina overload; they are really cute and if you like to see signs of a previous life with some rust here and there then these are for you.   We have sealed the tins so there is no flaking rust or other bits falling off.  These vintage Hovis bread tins are so versatile and are great items of kitchenalia; use for display or plant up with your spring bulbs; use in your kitchen for your teabags or other smalls.  As they are only for decorative purposes, you cannot use them to bake bread in.  However, they are gorgeous pieces either grouped together or on their own; they make a lovely addition to your vintage home.  They really are super pieces and so much so, we have had to keep one for ourselves…!
