These salad servers would be a wonderful addition to a vintage dining setting.
Their shape, details and the amber Bakelite handles make these pieces very desirable, even in a modern setting.
They probably date back to the 1920s / 1930s as they belonged… View moreWe are moving so these are reduced to sell.

They probably date back to the 1920s / 1930s as they belonged to my grandmother.
There are some tarnish spots on them.
The Bakelite is fully intact.
There is no brand mark or identifying mark on them.
They measure 20.5cm and weigh 110gm

Luster is an overglaze, that is applied over the vitrified, glaze-fired piece and requires a third firing. Luster is made of particles of real gold suspended in a liquid medium. Then it's fired in order to burn off the organic binder.

In her own words, she was a ‘Maori teen mum from the ’Naki’ who others expected to end up on the DPB. Instead she worked her way up through the fashion industry, launched her own online fitness community and clothing brand, and is now in demand as a motivational speaker and social media influencer. She has overcome depression and what she now recognises was an unhealthy relationship with her body, to promote a message of self-love and empowerment.
In Keeping it Real, Makaia openly shares her struggles and the strategies that help her to maintain a positive body image and outlook. Her story is a reminder that physical and emotional well-being starts with self-acceptance. As she says, 'self-loathing is imprisonment; self-love is liberation'.
This handpainted platter was made by Temuka Potteries.
It is in the Fruitopia design.
It is in very good, clean condition, no chips or cracks.
Measurements approx - 286mm diameter
