A brilliant twist on a British kitchen classic, this vintage red OXO Cube tin stands out with its unusual oval body and two flat sides — a rare variation on the familiar rectangular tins most collectors know.
The bold red branding, crisp white lettering and compact size make it instantly recognisable, while the distinctive shape gives it real display appeal.
Its quirky form makes it ideal for collectors looking to expand beyond the standard OXO designs, or for anyone who enjoys unusual packaging with a story to tell. A charming, eye‑catching piece of British kitchen history — and a lovely addition to any vintage pantry, advertising display or tin collection.
OXO Tins — Everyday Packaging with a Collectable Twist
Since the early 20th century, OXO has been one of Britain’s most recognisable household brands, with its tins becoming as iconic as the beefy cubes inside. Most OXO tins were produced in simple rectangular forms, designed for easy stacking in kitchen cupboards and shop displays.
From time to time, however, the company experimented with alternative shapes and formats, often for short‑run promotional packaging or updated design trials. These variations — including oval tins, tins with curved edges, or tins with unusual proportions — were produced in far smaller numbers than the standard rectangular versions. As a result, they’ve become particularly sought after by collectors who enjoy discovering the more unusual corners of OXO’s design history.
This oval‑bodied example with flat sides is a perfect illustration of that experimentation: familiar branding presented in a fresh, distinctive form that stands out beautifully today.
Size: 12 x 10cm
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.
