This fabulous Art Deco 1930s polished aluminum and brass set features a large vase and matching bowl. They have matching brass laurel leaves rimming the bottom. This set, "Marlborough," was designed by famed industrial designer Lurelle Guild in 1934 for Kensington Inc. The Kensington Ware line was introduced in 1934 by Alcoa as high-end aluminum alloy giftware and domestic items. It was marketed as having the same advantages of silver, pewter and chrome but none of the disadvantages. It did not tarnish or stain. Wonderful, classic pieces for the vintage or art deco home!

Polished metals are difficult to photograph, but as aluminum is a soft metal, these pieces have picked up some scratches here and there. They're not very noticeable in person, and I've done my best to show any marks. There are no dents.

Dimensions:
Vase - 10" tall x 7.5" diameter
Bowl - 4.75" tall x 11.5" diameter
