Wilton 'ARMETALE' Large Round Center Bowl, Leaf Relief Mount, c 1969, Made in USA, Maker's Mark, Aluminum Alloy 13-7/8" Diameter
A rare large Center Bowl made of Armetale which is an Aluminum Based Alloy, by the Wilton Compnay of Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. History of the manufacturing process below.
SIZE: 13-7/8" Wide; 3.25"High
Condition: Slight scuffs, superficial scratch or two, slight age oxidation. (Pardon photography glare).
A classic bowl to use as display, safe for fruit, nuts or decor. A very unusual piece as no two are alike. The alloy has the appearance of Pewter, and or silver if highly polished.
"Wilton Armetale's products are produced by using an ancient painstaking process called sand molding, whereby an impression formed in sand is filled with molten metal. Since items are individually cast and meticulously hand-finished, no two pieces are exactly alike. Not surprisingly, the Armetale formula remains a closely guarded family secret. When cast, this metal alloy can be worked to acquire the look of pewter or be highly polished to resemble silver. Products made from Armetale are functional as well as beautiful. The tarnish-resistant alloy will not crack, chip, or dent; and its ability to retain temperatures makes it versatile for heating, chilling, and serving. Design is an important element of Wilton Armetale's products, so it is fitting that the name Armetale means art metal.
The Wilton family has been involved in the metal casting industry since 1892 when Ralph P. Wilton, Sr. began working for his uncle at the Susquehanna Casting Company near Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. At that time, the foundry produced industrial iron castings for other manufacturers. Half a century later, Ralph P. Wilton, Jr. expanded the family business through other ventures, such as Wilton Products (1940) which made cast iron gifts and the Wilton Brass Company (1955) which initially produced industrial brass, aluminum, and iron castings. The company's greatest success occurred in 1963 when Wilton, Jr. developed the formula for a unique aluminum-based alloy called Armetale, which led to a new line of Wilton products. In 1969, the Wilton Brass Company relocated to Mount Joy, Pennsylvania and changed its name to reflect its new direction"
