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 to my grandmother.

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'.

What this will mean is you’ll see/hear a little less from Sam and a lot more from Joe - both in the office and on the tools, we will be offering more flexibility in our schedule, simplified rates, and are going back to the basics we built Stripped Electrical Ltd on as your household electrician servicing all electrical, appliance, and air-conditioning needs. We hope you’ll be excited to join us on this next chapter 🧡
