Puiforcat (Hermes) & Christofle: 5pc. French Art Deco Sterling Silver Tea Set !
By Christofle, Puiforcat
Located in Wilmington, DE
Direct from Paris, the birthplace of Art Deco, a magnificent 5-piece original French Art Deco (Gatsby era) sterling silver tea set by two of the world’s premier French silversmiths “Puiforcat”, currently owned by Hermes, and “Christofle”. The set has been professionally refinished to near new condition and there are no monograms on any of the pieces, circa 1920s. The art of silversmithing is one of the most refined expressions of craftsmanship, blending functionality with artistic beauty. Among the luminaries of this tradition, the French silversmiths Puiforcat and Christofle stand as a paragons of excellence, innovation, and timeless elegance. Founded in the early 19th century, Puiforcat has become synonymous with luxury, precision, and artistry, creating pieces that transcend mere utility to become works of art.
The story of Puiforcat begins in 1820, when Jean-Baptiste Fuchs established a silversmith workshop in Paris. From its inception, the brand was dedicated to creating exceptional silverware that combined traditional techniques with innovative designs. However, it was under the leadership of Jean Puiforcat, the grandson of the founder, that the brand truly flourished. Known as the “Father of Art Deco”, Jean Puiforcat, a visionary artist and master silversmith, took the helm in the early 20th century and transformed the company into a beacon of modern design and craftsmanship. Jean Puiforcat was deeply influenced by the Art Deco movement, which emerged in the 1920s and 1930s as a response to the ornate styles of the past. Art Deco emphasized clean lines, geometric shapes, and a harmonious balance between form and function. Under Jean Puiforcat's guidance, the brand embraced these principles, creating pieces that were not only visually striking but also meticulously crafted. This period marked a golden age for Puiforcat, as the brand's creations became synonymous with modernity, sophistication, and luxury.
At the heart of Puiforcat's enduring appeal is its unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Each piece of Puiforcat silverware...

English Measham Bargeware Blue Ribbon Teetotaler Temperance Motto Tea Kettle
By Barge Ware
Located in Philadelphia, PA
A Measham – Bargeware Tea Kettle impressed with the Blue Ribbon Temperance motto, England, circa 1880.
The Blue Ribbon Movement was active from 1880-1882 in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. The ribbon badge was worn by those who took the pledge of abstinence from alcohol consumption, adopting the term teetotaler.
The kettle has a dark brown treacle glaze with enameled, raised and molded floral and fruit applications. The main panel, seen on both sides of the kettle reads, “Sign the Pledge, Don the Blue” The notched lid is held securely in place for pouring.
Measham Ware was decorated with floret appliqués and an impressed panel or banner personalized using a printer’s typeface. The pottery, also known as Rockingham or Motto Ware, was produced from the 1870’s by William Mason, a South Derbyshire potter.
Often called ‘barge ware’ because it was extensively marketed through a shop on Measham High Street, located near the canal bridge...

Antique, New and Vintage Tea Sets
Ready to serve high tea and brunch for your family and friends? Start with the right antique, new or vintage tea set.
Tea is a multicultural, multinational beverage and isn’t confined to any particular lifestyle or age group. It has humble beginnings, and one of its best-known origin stories places the first cups of tea in 2700 B.C. in China, where it was recognized for its medicinal properties. Jump ahead to 17th-century England, when Chinese tea began to arrive at ports in London. During the early 1800s, tea became widely affordable, and the concept of teatime took shape all over England. Today, more than 150 million people reportedly drink tea daily in the United States.
Early tea drinkers enjoyed their beverage in a bowl, and English potters eventually added a handle to the porcelain bowls so that burning your fingers became less of a teatime hazard. With the rise in the popularity of teatime, tea sets, also referred to as tea service, became a hot commodity.
During Queen Victoria’s reign, teakettles and coffeepots were added to tea services that were quite large — indeed, small baked goods were served with your drink back then, and a tea set could include many teacups and saucers, a milk pot and other accessories.
During the early 1920s, a sterling-silver full tea service and tray designed by Tiffany & Co. might include a hot-water kettle on a stand, a coffeepot, teapot, a creamer with a small lip spout, a waste bowl and a bowl for sugar, which the British were stirring into tea as early as the 18th century.
But you don’t have to limit your tea set to Victorian or Art Deco styles — shake up teatime with an artful contemporary service. If the bold porcelain cups and saucers by Italian brand Seletti are too unconventional for your otherwise subdued tea circle, find antique services on 1stDibs from Japan, France and other locales as well as vintage mid-century modern tea sets and neoclassical designs.
