| Measuring 17 1/2 inches long by 11 1/2 inches wide, this is a very large piece of Wendell August Forge. It carries a very low model number, #15. It features the Bittersweet pattern in very high relieft with tightly bunched berries and leaves in the middle of the three areas on the tray. The rounded corners and planished edges make me think it is from the late 1930s or 1940s. Perhaps the two depressions on either side of the central Bittersweet pattern were for the covered blue La Mirada casseroles bottoms which would have had a Bittersweet patterned cover. The piece is in good to very good condition. It is unusual and still today a very practical serving piece for your canapes, nuts, candies and such. Add it to your Wendell August Forge, Art Deco or hammered aluminum collection today. |
