Vintage Kensington Brushed Aluminum Side Plates Gold Lion Crest Set of 8 MCM 6"
This vintage 8-piece set of Kensington aluminum side plates features a sleek circular form with a brushed silver-tone aluminum surface and a subtly recessed center well framed by a smooth rounded rim. Each plate is accented with a small gold-tone decorative plaque mounted along the rim, featuring an embossed heraldic-style lion motif that adds a refined contrast to the cool metallic finish. The minimalist design reflects the clean lines and practical elegance commonly associated with Mid-Century tableware.
Produced during the Mid-Century to Late 20th Century period when lightweight aluminum serveware remained popular for entertaining and everyday dining, these Kensington plates combine durability with understated decorative appeal. Their compact size makes them ideal for serving bread, desserts, appetizers, or small side dishes. The sculptural simplicity of the brushed aluminum paired with the distinctive crest detail makes this 8-piece set well suited for coordinated table settings, retro entertaining, or collectors of vintage aluminum serveware.
