Vintage West Bend Penguin Hot Cold Server Chrome Bakelite Handles Art Deco

Classic vintage West Bend Penguin Hot & Cold Server featuring the unmistakable streamlined penguin design around the polished metal body and deep brown Bakelite side handles and lid knob. These iconic mid-century servers were designed for entertaining and could be used for both hot and cold foods. The rounded shape, sculpted penguins, reflective finish, and dark Bakelite accents give it wonderful Art Deco / Machine Age styling that also fits beautifully into a mid-century barware or kitchen collection. A particularly fun vintage serving piece that works equally well as functional serveware, a retro ice bucket, or display.
