Lot #23: Wilton Armetale, Lenox, Sheffield Serving Ware

Toss the takeout containers and impress your guests with this collection of serving ware. From Wilton Armetale, a round and a rectangular serving platter, each with scallop shell handholds, 14.5" X 13" and 14" X 8.5"; a lettuce-leaf chip and dip set, 11" sq and 5" X 5.5"; and a small lidded box. Armetale is a food-safe aluminum alloy that can be used for cooking and serving both. Wilton began producing products using this alloy in the mid 1960s, but the original foundry began operation in the late 1800s, with iron, brass, and pewter castings. In 2010 the family-owned business was sold, and then acquired a few years later by Lifetime Brands. The two platters come in the original boxes, with brochures.

Accompanied by a pair of Sheffield salad scissors, also in original box; and a wonderful expandable trivet from Lenox, also in the original box. 8" X 10"/13.5".
