Vintage Everlast Forged Aluminum Serving Basket with Knot Handle
Vintage Everlast Forged Aluminum Serving Basket with Knot Handle
$28.00
This is a beautifully made serving or display basket made from forged aluminum by Everlast. The center of the piece is decorated with a center rose surrounded by a flower bouquet. The bottom of the piece has a honeycomb appearance from the hand hammered design. The sides have folds and and intricate rim design. Arching over the basket is a heavy aluminum handle with a knot design at the center. This is just really cute!
The design and quality of the piece matches other similar pieces that were from the 1960s when aluminum serve wear was all the "rage". This is very well made with a fully embossed design, evident by the design being raised on the interior surface and indented on the underside. This piece has a matte finish.
It displays well and is largely decorative in nature and would be best used as a serving tray for dry snacks, meats and cheese platters and other items that would not require a completely level surface. I think it would be really charming at a spring or summer gathering for laying out the items that could compliment your burger or ice cream sundae bar! It's really quite unique.
There are quite a few surface scratches as would be expected for its age and material. It would benefit from a thorough cleaning as well.
It is marked “Everlast Forged Aluminum” on the bottom.
Dimensions:
11" diameter of top of basket including handles
10" diameter of top of basket without handles
6 3/4" diameter of base
6 1/4" high at top of handle
