Art Deco Tea Set by Jean Theobald for Wilcox Silver Plate Company, 1928

About the Item

an Avant Garde Art Deco Tea Set designed by Jean G. Theobald and styled by Virginia Hamill, for Wilcox Silver Plate Company in 1928. This was an extremely modern design for the time. Extremely clever in concept, a complete compact tea set nestled in a circular tray as one easy to handle unit. It is made from nickel and silver plated, the handles and knobs are Bakelite, part of the Wilcox "Dinette Line" first developed by Wilcox staff designer Jean G. Theobald, but the company brought in Virginia Hamill to refine and modernize the forms. Virgina Hamill was one of the first female American industrial designers. This is not just a tea set, it is a work of art.
