  pihb

 

Thailand

Pihb is the Thai name for a somewhat large tin container that takes the form of a squarish upright elongated rectangular box, topped with a round lid. This version is used to store liquid food products, such as palm oil, and unlike similar canisters for dry foods (fig.) it  has no window, a smaller lid to facilitate pouring, and features a small foldable handle on top for easy carrying.
