Description
Metal tin used to contain Sarotti Praline Chocolates. The top of the tin includes an scene of five caricatured Moor figures rowing in an eastern-style riverboat down a river dressed in traditional orientalised/Moorish dress. This scene is set against a mustard yellow background adorned with art nouveau border decorations on all four corners of the tin-top. The brand name is printed below this image in italicised red font along with the words "Pralinen Classic Edition No.4 [...] Eine Exquisite Mischung Feinster Pralinen [...] MohrenMotiv Um 1952".
All four sides of the tin show the exact same words on the top with a solitary Sarotti figure holding a flag rather than an oar. The bottom of the tin contains ingredients information about the chocolate and a guide detailing the difference between each chocolate.
