This elegant, silver-plated cake server comes from the Austrian metalware factory Berndorf and bears the hallmark "Berndorf 90", which stands for high-quality silver plating. The piece was made in the mid-20th century and features the classic design of European silver flatware.
The Berndorfer Metallwarenfabrik was one of the most important manufacturers of silverware in Austria and was already a well-known producer of cutlery and tableware during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Silver-plated pieces with the 90s plating were made for upscale households and festive tables.
The cake server is ideal for serving cakes or tarts and can be used both as a utilitarian item and as a collector's item. Its beautiful shape also makes it a decorative element for a classic kitchen or display cabinet.
The condition is good with age-appropriate patina, as is common with silver-plated flatware.
Material: silver-plated metal (Alpacca) Length: 24.5 cm Width: 5.5 cm Period: approx. 1940–1949 Origin: Austria
Gmünd, at an estate sale. Berndorf 90 — a name that meant trust in Austrian kitchens. This cake server has surely lifted many birthday cakes and Sunday pastries.
