Copper and Color Casserole and Chafing Dish

These are examples of other items in the Copper and Color line. They exhibit Sohn's penchant for combining materials in one item. The black painted steel and wood, the copper lids and stands, as well as the white ceramic were combined by Sohn in a exciting way (at least in my opinion!) They date from 1952/1953.

I have seen advertisements listing white (advertised at least once as "Snow White"), green (called "Forest Green" in one advertisement and "Hunter Green" in another), chartreuse as well as "Charcoal" or "Grey".

I think the white with the black and copper is quite attractive and appealing to most--and probably what sold the most.
