I found this tin at the weekend, and I picked it up for my shop straight away. It's so nice. The butterfly and flowers on the lid are metallic, while the background is matt. The gradient of colour in the background, from dark to light, highlights the metallic design even more, and the colours used on the whole tin are a really nice palette. The electric blue is so vibrant, the butterfly is in a lovely combination of pink and peach, and the flowers are in shades of turquoise blue and purple.
I believe the date could be 20's or 30's. The condition is good for the age that it is, and it would work perfectly as a storage tin. It would make a really nice pen tin for a desk, or for keeping plant labels in for the garden.
