The Ultimate Collector’s Set: Extremely Rare Paul Wirths "Toledo Gold" Drink Coasters (Set of 6).
Presenting an exceptionally scarce find for the connoisseur of Solingen craftsmanship: a complete set of six original Paul Wirths drink coasters in the elusive Toledo Gold relief pattern.
Why These Are Unique:
While the "Toledo Gold" line is famous for its cutlery, the drink coasters were produced in significantly smaller batches as a limited-edition "Geschenkserie" (Gift Series). Most were lost or separated over the last 50 years, making a matching set of six in very good condition a genuine rarity. You will find many serving trays in this pattern, but finding the original coasters is nearly impossible in today's vintage market.
Each coaster is a masterclass in mid-century German engineering. The centers are crafted from high-grade 18/8 stainless steel, polished to a flawless mirror finish that captures the light. The border features the iconic diamond-basketweave relief, heavily plated in genuine 24k gold. This "Silver & Gold" contrast was the hallmark of the elite European home bar in the 1960s and 70s.
Condition Report:
These coasters are in very good vintage condition. Having been meticulously cared for, they show only the faintest signs of light handling and age. The 24k gold plating remains thick and vibrant across all textured edges, and the mirror-polished centers are bright and clear. Some very light surface scratching is present.
Specifications:
Manufacturer: Paul Wirths (Solingen, Germany – "The City of Blades").
Pattern: Toledo Gold (Authentic Diamond Relief).
Hallmark: Stamped "WIRTHS-GERMANY" on the reverse.
Material: 18/8 Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel with 24k Gold Plating.
A Rare Opportunity:
Whether you are completing a Toledo Gold service or seeking a centerpiece for a high-end Mid-Century Modern bar, this set represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of unmatched German barware history.
