The Story Behind OXO — A British Kitchen Icon
From its origins in the late 19th century, OXO became one of Britain’s most recognisable household brands, woven into the daily rhythm of family cooking. First introduced as a beef extract developed by the Liebig
Company, OXO quickly evolved into the famous cube format that made hearty, flavourful meals accessible to every home. By the mid‑20th century, the brand had embraced bold, colourful advertising campaigns that celebrated convenience, comfort and the simple pleasure of a warming broth.
Promotional tins like this one were often produced to reinforce OXO’s cheerful, family‑friendly image. Their bright illustrations and playful graphics reflected the optimism of post‑war Britain, when branded kitchenware doubled as both practical storage and decorative charm.
Today, these tins are treasured by collectors for their nostalgic appeal and their place in the wider story of British food advertising — a reminder of how a humble stock cube became a cultural staple.
Size: 14 x 9 x 5cm
All our vintage and retro tins are sold empty and ready for their next life — perfect for storage, display or adding character to a growing tin collection. Please take a moment to browse all photos so you can be sure the condition is just right for you before purchasing.
