QR Code Link to This Post
6 Vintage Farcal is a prominent Italian brand from the 1970s and 80s that produced high-quality 18/10 stainless steel espresso sets as pictured.
Brand & Design
Aesthetic: Farcal sets are known for their minimalist, mid-century modern design.
Like the "Jolly" model, they often feature a double-walled (thermal) construction to keep coffee hot while the exterior remains comfortable to hold.
Markings: Authentic pieces are typically stamped with "FARCAL", "INOX 18/10", and "ITALY" on the base, as is on this one.
Rarity: Farcal items are considered collectable vintage kitchenware and can be more difficult to find than mass-produced modern alternatives.
The Sugar Bowl
This is a hallmark from Sandrik, a well-known Slovak silverware and metalware manufacturer.
Manufacturer: The diamond-shaped logo containing stylized characters and the surrounding text identifies the piece as being made by Sandrik.
The company was founded in the late 19th century and became famous for its high-quality metal products, including Art Deco designs.
Material: The "18/10" mark next to the logo indicates that the item is made of 18/10 stainless steel.
This means it contains 18% chromium (for corrosion resistance) and 10% nickel (for luster and durability).
