this is such a lovely little set — and the design is pure art deco. The strong geometric shapes, beautifully rounded forms, rectangular handles and touches of gold give it that unmistakable 1920s/30s look.
the set includes a generous teapot, a matching milk jug, two cups and two saucers. The soft turquoise-blue colour is particularly beautiful and works wonderfully with the warm gold detailing.
the pieces are unmarked, so unfortunately the exact manufacturer cannot be identified. I believe the set is french, and its design is very characteristic of french art deco ceramics, but i prefer not to attribute it to a particular maker without a mark or provenance.
it is a lovely size for two and would be equally beautiful used for afternoon tea or simply displayed as a decorative art deco set. The shape is especially attractive — the teapot and milk jug have wonderfully sculptural geometric handles and a very elegant silhouette.
the set includes:
• 1 teapot
• 1 milk jug
• 2 cups
• 2 saucers
condition: good vintage condition overall, with some light wear from age and use. One of the saucers has a small chip on the underside. The gold decoration also shows some gentle wear consistent with age.
approximate measurements:
teapot: 25 cm wide × 18 cm diameter × 13 cm high
milk jug: 12.5 cm wide × 9 cm diameter × 9 cm high
cups: 11 cm wide × 9 cm diameter × 4.5 cm high
saucers: 13.5 cm diameter × 1.5 cm high
a very charming example of french art deco tableware, with beautiful colour, elegant geometric forms and plenty of vintage character. A wonderful addition to an art deco, french vintage or eclectic interior. See less
