Very rare and stunningly beautiful, ca1905 Walter Baker & Co Tin Lithograph Advertising Tray / Vienna Art Plate featuring the classic Walter Baker Chocolate Company trademark image of "La Belle Chocolatiere”.
This fantastic and very rare, chromolithograph on tin Advertising Tray measures approx. 10" in diameter and features the beautiful, young “Belle” dressed in Colonial era garb carrying a tray with a cup of cocoa and a glass. Text at the bottom ...of the image area reads “Walter Baker Co. Ltd.” and “Registered in U.S. Patent Office”. The Tray features a rim with elaborate, Art Nouveau style design.
This Tin Litho Art Plate / Tray was offered by the Walter Baker & Company to loyal customers who could redeem coupons cut from Cocoa Tins and Chocolate Wrappers for various items with the La Belle Chocolatier image. Other premiums included Chocolate Pots, China, figural bookends, silver plated and sterling silver cocoa spoons and even a tin lithograph breakfast table.
While the back of the Tray carries no manufacturer's / lithographer's mark, in all likelihood it was manufactured by The H. D. Beach Co. or the Meek Co. of Coshocton, Ohio who produced these “Vienna Art Plate” style Tin Litho Trays in the early 20th century.
This rare and very beautiful, Walter Baker Chocolate Company Tin Litho Advertising Tray is very beautiful and displays in very good condition. The colors are bright and vibrant - rich and warm. There is an area of surface loss on the rim of the Tray at 9 o’clock and there are some small spots of surface restoration in the background area around the figure of the Woman. Overall this wonderful, ca1905 Tin Litho Advertising Tray / Art Plate displays beautifully.
