Vintage Canape and Hors D'Oeuvre Cutters. The largest is 1.75". Good condition. Seems a bit tarnished. Comes with box.
This set of vintage canape and hors d'oeuvre cutters is a charming remnant of mid-century entertaining and culinary artistry. The collection features a variety of petite geometric shapes—including stars, hearts, and circles—designed for precision slicing of appetizers, tea sandwiches, and decorative garnishes. The largest cutter measures one and three-quarters inches, making them perfectly scaled for the delicate "finger foods" of a 1950s or 60s cocktail party. The set comes complete with its original cardboard box, which features the classic typography and graphics typical of mid-century kitchenware.
As a "theatrical curiosity," these cutters offer a touch of authentic, "found-history" charm to a kitchen display or a collection of vintage culinary tools. They evoke the meticulous preparation and social elegance of a bygone era, fitting seamlessly into a traditional or "Coastal Academic" kitchen. The cutters are in good vintage condition, exhibiting an honest, darkened tarnish on the metal that highlights their age and storied past. The box remains sturdy and presents beautifully for display. This is a soulful find for collectors of vintage kitchenalia or those looking to add a touch of mid-century functional history to their hosting repertoire.
