Absolutely stunning hard to find Kenilworth Cafe with Lid in the beautiful Charm House line Turquoise Blue Color.
MCM streamlined Kenilworth beauty! In the fall of 1955 a special line of buffet ware was created for Jack Kleinman, a distributor of silverware, glassware, and giftware out of New York. The new shape, Kenilworth, was made in the same oven proof body as Epicure. Four glazes were used: white and pink from Epicure and black and turquoise from Charm House. Most of the Kenilworth pieces were made with brass fittings which served as decorative accents to the bases and lids of hollowware.
In 1957, four items were added to the Kenilworth line: coffee server, sugar, creamer, and an ice bucket. Pieces were picked up from other lines as needed such as Epicure and Charm House. Some Kenilworth orders include the fluted ashtray.
There are at least three different backstamps found on Kenilworth: the coat of arms mark, the simple "Kenilworth USA" backstamp, and a "Made In USA" mark. None of the markings mention Homer Laughlin.
Condition: Excellent preowned vintage condition. No chips, dings, scratches, etc on the carafe itself or the lid. No issues. The color differences in the pictures are just due to lighting not, on the carafe itself. Shiny blue glaze. Some tarnishing on the metal fitting from age - still in great shape. Pristine condition. See all pictures.
Carefully packed and shipped (of course). Make it part of your collection!
