Vintage Zassenhaus Wall-Mounted Coffee Grinder - 1940s/1950s An authentic, vintage German wall-mounted coffee grinder (Kaffeemühle) manufactured by the prestigious brand **Zassenhaus**, dating back to the late 1940s or 1950s. This beautiful piece features the classic Western German kitchen craftsmanship, balancing functional utility with timeless rustic decoration. Key Features & Components : * **Ceramic Container:** Rectangular, white porcelain hopper decorated with the famous blue "Stroblume" (Strawflower) floral pattern. The front is elegantly inscribed with the German word **"Kaffee"** in traditional script. * **Wooden Backplate:** Original shaped solid wood mounting board with prepierced holes, showing a warm patina and minor age-related wear on the edges. * **Grinding Mechanism & Crank:** Heavy-duty cast iron mill body with its original long, twisted metal crank arm and smooth wooden handle knob. * **Glass Catch Cup:** Includes the highly sought-after **original rectangular clear glass receiver** with molded measurement lines. (This is a rare finding, as these glass parts were frequently broken over the decades). * **Top Lid:** Retains its original dark wood/metal top cover. Technical Details : * **Manufacturer:** Zassenhaus (Germany) * **Model Style:** No. 170 / 171 series * **Estimated Period:** Mid-20th Century (ca. 1940 - 1950) * **Mechanism:** Adjustable conical burr grinder (coarseness can be set via the tension screw under the crank). Condition Report : * **Overall:** Very good vintage condition, completely original and unrestored. * **Porcelain:** Bright glaze colors. There is a small cosmetic hairline crack visible on the upper front rim of the ceramic hopper (above the text), which is typical for aged kitchen ceramics and does not affect structural stability. * **Metal & Wood:** Healthy patina on the cast iron mechanism. The wooden backing is solid with light signs of usage. The crank turns smoothly. Dimensions : 40.5 cm × 18.5 cm × 20.5 cm The product will be professionally packed and sent safely to your address by local post. The pictures of the product are made with the highest possible resolution, precisely to capture possible small defects (small scratches, stains, defect), the pictures are part of the product description.
