Vintage BMF Germany Floral Tile Serving Tray. Measures about 12". Excellent condition.
Elevate your hosting style with this stunning 12-inch floral tile serving tray from BMF (Bayerische Metallwarenfabrik) of Nuremberg, Germany. Founded in 1902 by Hans Wagner and Willy Gundel, BMF became one of Germany's most prominent metalworking firms, celebrated for producing "luxury and utility articles" that defined European table culture for nearly a century. This specific piece features a high-quality porcelain tile centerpiece adorned with a cheerful botanical design of yellow blossoms, likely primroses or wildflowers.
The tray is framed by an elegant, Art Deco-inspired silver-toned metal rim. The rim showcases a beautifully detailed reticulated pattern of pierced roses, which adds a lightweight, lace-like quality to the sturdy construction. Whether used to serve afternoon tea, display appetizers, or as a decorative vanity tray for perfumes, this BMF original brings a touch of mid-century German craftsmanship to any setting. It remains in excellent condition, showcasing the vibrant colors and brilliant finish that BMF products were known for before the factory's eventual closure in the late 1990s.
This item is vintage, about 60 years old. While it appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
