Pale blue geometric diamonds float across creamy porcelain with soft charcoal accents. The organic cup silhouette and sculptural open handle are signature Seibel, transforming an everyday object into functional art.

This is a complete service for five. Each cup nests into its saucer with an effortless sense of proportion. The set brings a subtle pop of pattern to open shelving, a coffee bar, or a refined display cabinet. Beautiful enough to admire. Designed to be used.

Ben Seibel was an American industrial designer celebrated for bringing sculptural form and ergonomic thinking into postwar home goods. His Iroquois Informal line is coveted for durability and timeless modernist design. Blue Diamonds is one of the rarer patterns and complete cup and saucer services are increasingly difficult to source.
