From Russia with love...
This stunning tin box arrived in the Swenglish household a few years ago, from a friend who, at the time, was residing in Azerbadjan. My Russian is a little bit rusty, shall we say, but I think it is a tin that once, a hundred years ago or so, contained chocolates.
A little scruffy, sadly devoid of chocolate, but with a vintage factor so high it almost makes up for the lack of chocolate.
Almost.
Är du också en nattkatt? ;-)

Ups...
ReplyDeleteAs a russian, I can say, this is a box from caramel (sugarplum).
On the box is a sign: Caramel from confectioner´s factory of V.F. Lapshin in Tsaritsyn (later Stalingrad, now Volgograd). Hihg quality.
This is the box definitely from the period before 1925, when Tsaritsyn became a Stalingrad. And most likely, it was before 1917, because after the Revolution the factory was nationalized.
Thanks for the nice blog!
Lada.
