Vintage Baker Decorated Ware — Mid-Century Lithographed Toy Tin Plates (Pair of 2)Manufactured by KMD Daalderop / Daher Product EcosystemAuthentic Post-War Post-1950s Era — Made in Holland (Netherlands)
This specialized, historically rich two-piece collection presents a matching pair of vintage children\'s toy tinplate saucer dishes (frequently curated as decorative drink coasters or miniature country kitchen wall plaques) from the celebrated post-war \"Baker Decorated Ware\" imprint line. Manufactured in Tiel, Netherlands by the renowned metalcraft house KMD Daalderop, these matching plates feature an ornate blue monochromatic backstamp on their reverse faces, showcasing a classical heraldic shield frame enclosing the signature stylized \"D\" corporate monogram, surmounted by a flowing ribbon banner cleanly declaring \"Baker Decorated Ware — Made in Holland.\" The face of each plate features a vibrant, multi-color offset rotary lithograph design portraying a whimsical mid-century cartoon illustration of three traditional culinary chefs in white toques, aprons, and blue trousers collaborating around a large brewing caldron over an open wood-fire pit. The inner flat base is framed by a soft turquoise-blue outer rolled rim trim that encapsulates a repeating border sequence of miniature culinary tools and baking ephemera, including rolling pins, wine bottles, glasses, loaves of bread, and fresh vegetable bundles. Surviving the decades with their foundational lithographic ink work intact, this matching pairing serves as a premier acquisition for collectors of post-war European tinplate toys, specialized Dutch advertising metalware, or curators of retro-revivalist mid-century kitchen hutches and cafe displays.
