Description

This striking red OXO embossed tin is a modern collectible with bold, minimalist styling that makes it perfect for kitchen display, pantry organisation or retro‑themed décor. Featuring the iconic raised OXO lettering on a clean cube‑shaped body with rounded edges, it reflects the contemporary design language used by the brand in the 2000s and early 2010s.

With no printed labels, barcodes or side text, this tin was produced as a promotional or storage item rather than a retail food container, giving it a sleek, uncluttered look. The vibrant red finish and crisp embossed logo make it instantly recognisable and highly decorative. Light age‑related wear adds authenticity while preserving its strong visual appeal.

Ideal for collectors of branded kitchen tins, British food memorabilia and modern OXO merchandise, this piece works beautifully as a shelf filler or functional storage tin.

OXO Branding and the Rise of Modern Kitchen Storage Tins

OXO has been a household name in Britain since the early 20th century, and its bold red branding has become one of the most recognisable identities in UK kitchens. From the late 1990s onward, the company expanded into branded storage tins, capitalising on nostalgia and the growing trend for decorative kitchenware.

These tins were often sold empty or as part of gift sets, designed to complement modern kitchens while celebrating the brand’s heritage. The embossed‑logo style became especially popular in the 2000s, offering a clean, contemporary take on classic OXO imagery.

Today, these tins are collected for their simplicity, colour impact and connection to one of Britain’s most enduring food brands.
