The hammered aluminum craze took off in the 40's and 50's and still continues today.
When aluminum was still a new miracle metal, silversmiths and other metalworkers turned their talents to this new material. Aluminum is lightweight, durable and practical. It's safe for an outdoor picnic yet graceful enough for an elegant dinner.
Aluminum is one of those collectibles that has a small cult following, but hasn't been discovered yet.
I'm always happy to find a piece at a bargain, come home and polish it up.
Rodney Kent is most famous for his Tulip and Ribbons patterns.

- O my gosh you sound like me ! My journey began when I decided that I just had to have a set of vintage tumblers. Growing up it seemed that we were the only family on the planet that did not have a set. I got my set , fell in love with aluminum , and here I am. I collect hammered and also polished heavy aluminum. So far I have yet to meet anyone who shares my passion , which is just fine with me .I collect to use and enjoy.Yes , it is a wonderful bonus that it is still cheap. That will change soon enough , but I am determined to have a large collection before then.
