These vintage wooden paddles were collected from bakeries from around Hungary and Germany. Used to place and remove loaves of bread as well as the Hungarian and German version of a pizza, “lángos” and “Flammekueche”, into the large wood-fired ovens, the paddles were also a quintessential accessory used in big outdoor ovens in the rural countryside. These long-handled paddles date back to the mid-1900s and vary in size, shape and patina. No two are alike, and each one is naturally aged with unique markings and carvings, making it one-of-a-kind.
