It is marked to the base: Digsmed, as photographed.        \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company designed and produced high-quality household goods. They were best known for their fine Lazy Susan's and rotating spice racks.  Digsmed worked with the Danish wood factory, Nissen Langå (who also worked with Dansk Designs and Quistgaard) to produce the teak parts of their designs. They always produced items to such high standards, and these are now very sought after by mid-century collectors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Digsmed company closed in 1975. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base of my serving dish revolves on a little circular foot so that you can turn the contents to guests at your dining table - so they do not have to reach over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a nice large size and has an overall diameter for the teak base plate of 13 3\/4 inches.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is made of teak. I would probably pop a little plate on this for serving and not directly onto the wood; really just to keep it all clean and free from cutlery marks etc.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a large domed cover. This is original to the lazy susan. It is not made of glass but of clear plastic. It is amazing that it has survived for about 50 years with no damage. It is a very rare survivor and a stylish mid-century shape. I have never seen another like it or of this large size. There is a little teak knop on the top to allow you to easily lift off the domed cover. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe serving board and dome are in excellent condition. The teak base has been cleaned and polished before sending it to you, so that it is tip-top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no cutlery marks on the base section and it turns nice and smooth. The grain of the wood is just lovely. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Scandinavian Digsmed serving items are now highly sought after. It is probably an item for the more specialist collector of mid-century Danish teak wares. A true design icon! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigsmed is probably better known for their wall-mounted spinning wheel space racks or their rotating Lazy Susans.  Please also see my set of six matching teak under plates or platters for formal dining\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lazy Susan be sent to you with Royal Mail Tracked (Medium Parcel) service. This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39728170827840,"sku":"Sold for £135","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1960s-danish-teak-lazy-susan-by-digsmed-for-cakes-or-as-a-cheese-dome-scandinavian-design-740.webp?v=1789812188","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1960s-danish-teak-lazy-susan-by-digsmed-for-cakes-cheese-dome","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
