This tin was designed by Escher and published in 1963 by Verblifa (NV De Veerenigde Blikfabrieken). This tin filled with 400 gr. Droste and Verkade bonbons was given to her relations as a business gift on the occasion of the 75th anniversary 1888-1963. The tin consists of 20 faces, an Icosahedron. On the faces of the triangles are three striped shells on a gray background. On each point are 2 half legs of a starfish. Because the 20 faces are attached to each other to make a tin, five points always come together, which automatically gives the starfish five legs. The shells are pressed into the tin. On the bottom is the well-known Escher logo combined with the dates of the Vereenigde Blikfabrieken. A view from this series is prominently displayed in the Escher Museum, Het Paleis, 125 years of Escher until October 1, 2023.

Unfortunately, some surfaces are discoloured by sunlight. The inside is intact. The lid closes completely well, see photos. Dimensions: 14.5 x 14.5 x 14.5 cm
