Jean-Paul Hevin blue Tins, original watercolor, 9" x 11"
I fall in love easily with containers. Whether a tea tin, a glass teapot, a green pastry box or a cocoa pod holding beans inside. And blue milk jugs and tea cups count too don't they? I'm easily smitten...
Jean-Paul Hevin had this beautiful silver plate tin you could fill with whatever you like. I got the blue tin version of this, first time filled with chocolate powder and last trip filled with chocolate macarons.
The French love boite metal (tin boxes) too. There were many at the October Paris chocolate show.
They had an exhibit of old miniature chocolate tins too - here cacao.
These Cemoi cacao tins must be from the 30's.
Chocolat Menier tins from before the turn of the century - even a dollhouse size tin here. And another mouse. What's not to love about tins? They've always have nice surprises for us.
