Chocolat Chaud at Angelinas, watercolor on paper, 9" x 11 1/2"
Right now you can't have too much hot chocolate IMHO. This is from the famous Angelina's and served with their pile of whipped cream.
Here is the wooden moulinet that fits in the top and used to foam the chocolate since the 17th century. Madam de Pompadour ordered the first chocolate service from Sevres. And was not far behind...
beautiful bean I was ranting on about last month. PLEASE get to know your cacao beans!

An unusual rare Art Déco pot still has the hole in the top for the moulinet..
Look! Chantal even has a doll house-size chocolatière and in silver too!
Silver Chocolat Pot, original watercolor on paper, 12" x 15"
I found my own silver chocolatière in May at La Vaissellerie. I was thrilled but it's a "fake". No hole in the top for foaming the chocolate. Just don't tell anyone.
Who'd a thunk it?
ReplyDeleteHot chocolate comes from a bean like this?
The source of all wintery bliss.
You've raised my esteem.
Hale the almighty BEAN!
Baby its cold outside! Perfect time for chocolate or viewing paintings of chocolate. The painting of your silver chocolatiere sparkles. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just adore the shape of chocolate pots! They seem so sexy and yes 'delicious'!!! I have been trying to find a miniature one for my dollhouse for ages, you'd think someone would dream that up...
ReplyDeleteLove the silver sheen on the pot, plus the cherry and macaroon (?).

ReplyDeleteVery lovely paintings of one of a favorite treat (clearly made with perfect equipment)... hot chocolate in winter is the ultimate comfort.
ReplyDeleteI always feel better, I don't know, more virtuous, when I have chocolate instead of wine at night in winter.
ReplyDeleteYou have the uncanny knack of bringing back to me little things I love about Paris. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI now want a vintage chocolatiere!
I can't take it anymore, I had to paint a tea cup! I guess after seeing all this coffee, tea, and now Chocolate, Its in my brain.
