Hutzler serving fork, yellow

A yellow coloured serving fork, compression moulded in Mepal melamine formaldehyde. This is a Rosti design, manufactured in Denmark for Hutzler, founded in the US in 1938 by Lothar Hutzler. With no access to traditional raw materials due to the war, Hutzler began manufacturing housewares from plastic, first releasing biscuit cutters, measuring spoons and funnels. In 1966 the company began moulding utensils and mixing bowls from melamine and soon after were awarded exclusive US distributorship of the Rosti designs in Mepal Melamine until Rosti was sold in the late 1970s.
