1970's Vintage Teak Set of Cups

This is a set of four teak wooden tea/coffee cups with coasters made in the 1960's, and we believe had simple shaped glass inserts originally but can be also used without the glass. This set is made of simple carved geometric forms in perfect balance and composition. The main body of the cups are a series of inverted scallop shapes with the circular handle fitting perfectly into the top section. The handle itself is quite large in comparison which adds certain expressiveness to the cup but also allows easy and safe holding. The cup sits in the middle of the round, slightly concave shaped coaster. This set is very similar to work of vaclav kautman (1922 - 1981) for uluv in former czechoslovakia. Overall the set combines great contemporary and more tradition folk design together with a hight skilled craftsmanship. The set is in great original condition without any damage. There is only minimal wear gained over the years.
