More about this coffee tin:
This striking rectangular coffee tin is a characteristic example of Douwe Egberts packaging from the late 1960s. Designed in a European folk art style with vibrant illustrations and warm colours, it is part of a set of three different designs. The motifs are believed to be inspired by decorative traditions from Hindeloopen, Finland, or Yugoslavia.
What makes this tin especially rare is the absence of the familiar DE logo, giving it a unique and somewhat mysterious character. At the time, this tin was released as part of a special promotion: customers could purchase a half-pound pack of Roodmerk coffee for ƒ2.75, with this tin included as a bonus.
