Silver Plated Serving Tray & Cover – Platterhof Hotel

This is a beautiful Silver Plated Serving Tray & Cover from the Platterhof Hotel. Highest quality, very heavy together.

The Platterhof Hotel was built by the Third Reich so as to assure the very best hospitality for guests waiting to see Hitler. It was up on the Obersalzberg very close to Hitlers House – The Berghof. At the time it was one of the most luxury hotels in Europe. After the end of WW2 it was used by the American Forces until 2005, it was then demolished after being returned to the control of the Bavarian Government. The Platterhof emblem was used on all service and glassware used at the hotel – it shows a peasant woman with mountains in the background. The entire emblem is encased in an oval.

Maker marked – Gebruder Hepp followed by 90. The 90 indicates that the silver plating has 10% of silver in its coating.

Beautiful items, 100% correct for the Platterhof Hotel, probably sliced meat would have been served from the tray.  Would clean further into pristine condition if any new owner desired it. Measures 290mm in diameter.
