This Twinnings Tea Tin was brought from England, though it does not have an English Mark. It is vintage with an Oriental design. England has had Metric measures for some time and this tin has a 1/2 lb measure on it. The tin is 4 1/2 inches tall, and the lid is hinged. There is a small dent in the side, but it is hardly noticeable. I have had it in my kitchen with 'green' tea in it.
