Description from the seller
Vintage tin coffee grinder PPP (Pietro Paolo Porini) - Italy - 1940s/1950s
Fascinating manual coffee grinder produced by the historic Italian company PPP (Pietro Paolo Porini) of Omegna, active since the mid-19th century.
The model, made in brown-painted tin, features the typical cube-like structure with a domed spokes crown and the producer's distinctive logo stamped in relief on the front and bottom.
Mechanics: Excellent functional condition. The crank handle and the internal steel burrs turn freely and without snags, a sign of a well-preserved mechanism.
Aesthetics: The object shows a beautiful authentic patina of its time, with widespread and evocative surface oxidation that enhances its industrial and rustic character. The original paint shows the classic signs of aging (flaking).
Structural notes: The metal tabs of the upper hinge are missing; the two parts (body and lid) are separated but fit together perfectly, preserving the original aesthetics.
Dimensions: 9 x 9 cm (base) x 16 cm (overall height).
