Tea for Tuesday #25

 A twist on Tuesday. Instead of hot tea, which this could be used for, this a hot chocolate service set . It is either Limoges or Nippon porcelain. I couldn't find real information on this set but I believe it to be one of the two.

Tea for Tuesday #10 - Toselli Locomotive Coffe Maker, ca. 1864

  Yes I know this is Tea for Tuesday but I thought that this Toselli locomotive coffee maker, that I first saw on Retronaut.com, which is offline at the moment, is so pretty that I just could not blog about it.

  The locomotive coffee maker was made by the Italian architect, Jean Baptiste Toselli who was living in Paris in 1861 and took out a patent on a "cafetiere-locomotive". In 1864 he began to manufacture the "cafetiere-locomotive". For further reading: Locomotive Coffee Maker
