JAPY Coffee Grinder

JAPY | 19”x 22” | Oil on Canvas

This vintage JAPY coffee grinder is a beauty.
One of 5 paintings of French kitchen implements I did for a cafe at L’Auberge du Lac in Lake Charles, Louisiana. They hang together as a group in the front area of the cafe.
 
It was fun gathering the various items, working out the compositions and doing the paintings. I also provided the desired “secure mounting method” and pattern needed to get proper placement on the wall.
 
Here we see the enameled metal housing of the grinder box in it’s blue color with yellow vertical corners. The top dome is polished chrome, while the knob on the grind handle is made of wood and painted blue to match the housing.
