Silver-plated tea set, WMF, circa 1930

Geometric refinement and Art Deco brilliance characterize this superb tea service by WMF, manufactured in Germany in the 1930s. Comprising a spherical tripod teapot, a milk jug, and a matching sugar bowl, the set combines hammered silver metal with the white porcelain of the handles, spouts, and knobs. The rounded, perfectly balanced silhouette reflects the functional elegance of Germanic modernism between the wars. Overall Condition: Very good vintage condition. Discreet signs of age are present, but do not affect the aesthetics or function of the pieces. Styling and placement advice: Display on a low dark wood sideboard, a modernist shelf, or a Bauhaus-style serving trolley. This service can also serve as a centerpiece in a minimalist display cabinet or on a coffee table, as a decorative object emblematic of the discreet and functional luxury of the 1930s.
