About the Item

This teapot is part of a tea service designed by the English silversmith Harry George Murphy (1884-1939). An illustration of the service appeared in Design for Today (London, 1934). The following description is an extract from the commentary. ‘We illustrate a tea set designed by H.G. Murphy…which won the highest award at the Milan Exhibition of 1933. The design may at first sight seem deliberately eccentric, but its shape is in fact dictated by the method of machine manufacture. It cost £20, which we understand is much less than a corresponding set manufactured by old methods would cost. The lids lift off completely thus dispensing with hinges which must be hand-made. The hand can be inserted for cleaning. The handles are in kingwood.’
