- In stock, ready to ship
For anyone who finds beauty in the wild and the botanical
A William Morris Woodland Weeds biscuit tin featuring one of the most richly detailed botanical designs in the Morris archive, in a muted, calming colourway.
The Woodland Weeds design was first printed as a wallpaper in 1905, almost a decade after William Morris's death, but it carries his approach to pattern-making in every stem and leaf — wild plants and natural forms arranged with the kind of careful balance that makes a complex design feel restful rather than busy. On this steel biscuit tin, the effect is quietly beautiful. It is the kind of piece that rewards a second look and earns a permanent spot on a kitchen shelf purely by being so interesting to look at. Made from steel, one of the world's most recyclable materials, it is built to last and designed to be used and admired for years.

FAQs
What is the Woodland Weeds design?
Woodland Weeds was first created as a wallpaper in 1905, drawing on William Morris's deep love of natural forms and botanical detail. It features wild plants, flowing stems and leaves arranged with a balance that reflects Morris's belief that everyday objects should be both useful and beautiful.
Was this designed by William Morris himself?
The pattern was produced by Morris and Co. in 1905, almost a decade after Morris's death in 1896, but it reflects his design principles entirely. It remains one of the most detailed and distinctive designs in the Morris archive.
Is this a good gift for a William Morris fan?
It really is. The Woodland Weeds design is one of the most detailed in the Morris archive, and on a biscuit tin it makes a gift that feels both practical and genuinely considered. Fill it with home-baked biscuits or treats for something any lover of design will treasure.
