Wilton Armetale William and Mary Serving Bowl, Round, 16-Inch
A mother’s dream come true
If you want elegant dishes that you kids can’t break, then this stuff is for you. I started collecting Armetale when I got sick of plastic dishes or broken ceramics. I would describe this stuff as being very nearly bombproof. It won’t break or dent when you drop it but it will break or dent your foot when you drop it on it. It can take extremes of temperature and you can use it on the stove or in the oven. I do not recommend pieces that have black or other colored antiquing or highlighting on the stove top as this can damage the paint. Be careful of hot pieces! They stay hot for a long time and you can still get scorched off of a larger piece even after the food it contained has been eaten. I find the casseroles wonderful for cooking food in for potlucks. My food is still hot when I get to church.
I cook in this stuff but I mostly serve in it. It will lose it’s mirror finish with use -it mellows to a more pewter-like finish and picks up little scratches but it never loses…
