Chocolate Obsession Chocolate Pot includes four cups constructed from post consumer recycled tin cans. The cups are filled with luscious, foamy, hot chocolate that is a permanent polyester filling. The many different brand names of chocolate served as inspiration. Most of the tin cans are no longer available, and I find them either by accident at yard sales or flea markets.
Recycled post consumer tin cans. resin, 10k gold rivets, brass and stainless steel screws.
Dimensions: 20" H x 15.5"W

The top is a fluted design, it reveals amazing details.
Look closely to see Chocolate Obsession three dimensional center of vintage chocolate advertising images. Each quadrant is different and comprised of layers upon layers, revealing details as rich as the best chocolate.
The next images show the phases of the chocolate moon. The handles shape and details are worth examining closely.
Chocolate Cups — Whitman’s & Godiva
Two chocolate cups made in 2003 are filled with a polyester resin made to resemble “hot chocolate.” These cups represent a tour-de-force of design and skill working with tin cans. They are so beautiful, I often take them out for display.
