Vintage METALWARE

A sheet of aluminum was cut, dies were used to create the designs, pieces were hand hammered or hand wrought and then shaped. Various artists created patterns.  

One of the best known companies was Creations by Rodney Kent  *hallmark is a Knight figure

The downside of aluminum was that the pieces tended to dent or scratch with heavy use. Metals were scarce during World War Two and housewives wanted a more modern look in their housewares, so by the mid 1950s, the aluminum craze was mostly over. One word of caution should you want to collect, is that pieces should never be placed into the dishwasher because today's detergents can stain the aluminum finish. Also, most collectors do not polish their pieces as gritty silver polishes or salt pastes rub off the finish. Pieces can be washed safely in tepid water and a few drops of a mild dish washing liquid.
