Vallauris, Wiskemann - Baking dish - Silverplated - Oven tray with fixture

Beautiful serving dish, made by the exclusive silverware manufacturer Otto-Léonard Wiskemann. The inner dish is ovenproof and can therefore go in the oven. This makes the dish especially suitable for serving casseroles, lasagna, and gratins. The stone dish was made by the renowned French producer Vallauris. It is marked at the bottom: 'VALLAURIS - Made in France' & 'WISKEMANN Déposé.' The silver-plated frame is marked 'WISKEMANN' and 'BREVET No° 129832.'

Wiskemann is the most exclusive Belgian manufacturer of silver-plated objects. Otto-Leonard Wiskemann came from an aristocratic German family of goldsmiths and jewelers. At the beginning of his career, he interned at Christofle. After this internship, he was able to improve upon Christofle's process, and in 1872, he established himself in Brussels. The company was later continued by Otto and Albin Wiskemann, and subsequently by Bruno Wiskemann. The Wolfers family (known for Philippe Wolfers and the Wolfers Frères) bought a majority stake in the company during that period. Later, the companies of the Delheid family were also added to this group. This is a significant part of Belgian history and of outstanding quality: comparable to Christofle, Robbe & Berking, Ercuis, Puiforcat, Wilkens, Ercuis, etc.
