1960s Fajardo Taxco Silver Plate Brass Lapis Toucan Creamer Sugar Tray Set

1960s Fajardo Taxco Silver Plate Brass Lapis Toucan Creamer Sugar Tray Set

By Fajardo

Located in Los Angeles, CA

Rare mid-century Mexican modern creamer and covered sugar set with matching serving tray, designed and manufactured in Taxco, Mexico by Fajardo during the 1960s. The sculptural set is crafted from solid brass with silver plate and features striking toucan-form handles with lapis lazuli inlay, a highly recognizable decorative motif associated with expressive mid-century Taxco design and Mexican silversmithing traditions. The birds’ beaks are made from solid brass, creating a beautiful contrast against the silver-plated surfaces and deep blue lapis lazuli. Both the creamer pitcher and covered sugar pot display elegant repoussé decoration that appears to represent a stylized agave or botanical plant motif, reflecting the influence of traditional Mexican plant forms in modernist decorative arts. The bold forms and carefully balanced proportions give the pieces a distinctive presence, demonstrating the refined craftsmanship and artistic quality that made Taxco an international center for Mexican silversmithing in the mid-20th century. The oval serving tray features a wide border inlaid with lapis lazuli mosaic...

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.
