The predominant color of the Bakelite fruit knife is the same color as the base of the Bakelite stand, a deep cream corn color Bakelite. The bottom of the fruit knife is classic art deco, cut on the diagonal and is jet black Bakelite. BE SURE TO SEE ALL THE PHOTOS.
The back of each utensil it is hallmarked ROSTFREI, which literally means “rust free,” and indeed they are completely rust free!
Vintage Bakelite kitchenware flatware sets, desert sets and fruit knife sets, etc. hallmarked ROSTFREI, were manufactured in Germany in the 1930’s and 1940’s and are sought after by collectors today of Vintage Bakelite kitchenware and flatware.
This outstanding example of vintage Bakelite ROSTFREI kitchenware set is in pristine condition and appears to have never been used. It should be used and enjoyed today for serving fruit for which it was intended or other bite size eatables such as appetizers! This Bakelite set tests positive for bakelite.
