This bright red square hinged tin carries the brand name in full: "Van Nelle's Stoom Koffiebranderij en Theehandel" (steam coffee roaster and tea trade). Among the Dutch scenes illustrated on the tin is their world-famous Van Nelle Factory — a 1927–1929 architectural masterpiece designed by Brinkman and Van der Vlugt. The hinged snap-on lid makes it practical.
A wonderful piece for the Dutch design enthusiast, the coffee and tea tin collector, or anyone who loves Old World European brand history. A natural on a kitchen shelf or coffee station.
Van Nelle — founded in 1782 by Johannes and Hendrica van Nelle in Rotterdam — grew into one of the Netherlands' great producers of coffee, tea, and aromatic blends, family-owned until 1954.
