This tin is perfectly round and the lid has a Christmas sleigh scene covering the entire space. There is a small red house in the center of the tin surrounded by snow and some pine trees directly next to it. Behind the house are more trees but they are all bare. In the front of the house the parents are riding on a red sleigh pulled by two horses. They are waving to two children who are playing with a small dog and pulling a sled. The whole scene is pushed back and there are larger trees seemingly closer to the viewer like you are looking through them to the scene. The sides of the container which are not part of the lid are an orangeish red color. It has rust in various places . The bottom and inside of the canister are the normal silver color of the tin. There are multiple rust stains and darker areas that are from either dirt or use but most of the surface is still the shiny finish of the metal.

Pitcher (2011.7.140)

This is a one gallon tin pitcher. The entire thing is the actual metal, including the handle. The pitcher is cylindrical in shape and the very top has an extended lip that helps with pouring abilities. The lip itself is actually quite rusted around the rim and where the lip meets with the base. Indented in the metal is the measurement "1Gal. liqd" near the very top of the pitcher but right under the lip. The handle was a seperate piece but was fixed to the pitcher, possibly by welding it together. Most of the handle is not thick but where one would grip it the tin protrudes to make it easier to hold. At the very top of the handle there is a little hole, it is perfectly round and seems intentional. The interior of the pitcher is quite dirty from the metal wearing away and at the very bottom it is more textured than the rest, probably from whatever the pitcher held at Alex's Sweet Shop. The indentation is more visible from the back because the front has worn away a little bit. There is some rust along the seam of where the tin joins with itself and at the very bottom, also along the seam. The actual bottom of the pitcher has a white grainy substance on it, probably from errosion due to use and storage. The edges of the base have quite a bit of rust on them as well, but the white substance is the most textured.
