Japan Pre-war Early Showa Period Calpii Honey Biscuits Aluminum Can
We have a fondness for early Japanese candy and biscuit tins made of aluminum. The delightful sound of treats rattling inside against the metal always evokes a sense of excitement and anticipation! Based on its appearance, this Calpii biscuit tin is estimated to be from the pre-war to early Showa period.
These honey biscuits, launched by Merenseika, are rich in calcium. They were recommended for infants and those recovering from illness who needed nourishment, as they were gentle on the stomach and considered a premium confection by many experts of the time!
The piece bears the marks of age, with rust coloring that speaks of its history—a beauty that comes with time, truly wonderful! The lid can be pried open and used as a vase for floral arrangements, or simply displayed as an accent piece to enhance the ambiance of any space.
This item was acquired recently in Japan, from Kawagoe, a town that still retains its Edo-period charm,
among household collections!
