Rare! Atsuko Matano Tin Can, Atsuko Matano, Tea Can, Matano Bear, Antique

This is a tea tin designed by illustrator Atsuko Matano.

This is believed to be an early piece from the Matano Bear series.

The size is a square of 7.7 x 7.7 with a height of 9.4. The diameter of the circle is 6.0.

The color is an indescribable dusty blue with a bluish tint, like blue-gray. It's a lovely color!

Over 30 years ago, a雑貨屋 (zakka-ya, general store) opened in a detached house in my neighborhood. I fell in love with it at first sight and saved up my allowance to buy it when I was a child.

I have sentimental attachment to it and don't really want to let it go... but my tastes have changed, so I've kept it stored away.
However, I feel it's a waste, so I would be happy if it finds a good home with someone who will display it beautifully! ☆＊*

It was originally an antique-style tin, but after 30 years, it has truly become an antique. There are scratches, dirt, and rust-like marks. The inside also shows signs of age, such as rust. I believe those who like antiques will understand.

The last two photos show particularly noticeable dents and dirt. Please check them.
