Mid-Century Modern Tea Sets
MID-CENTURY MODERN STYLE
Organically shaped, clean-lined and elegantly simple are three terms that well describe vintage mid-century modern furniture. The style, which emerged primarily in the years following World War II, is characterized by pieces that were conceived and made in an energetic, optimistic spirit by creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living.
ORIGINS OF MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Emerged during the mid-20th century
- Informed by European modernism, Bauhaus, International style, Scandinavian modernism and Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture
- A heyday of innovation in postwar America
- Experimentation with new ideas, new materials and new forms flourished in Scandinavia, Italy, the former Czechoslovakia and elsewhere in Europe
CHARACTERISTICS OF MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Simplicity, organic forms, clean lines
- A blend of neutral and bold Pop art colors
- Use of natural and man-made materials — alluring woods such as teak, rosewood and oak; steel, fiberglass and molded plywood
- Light-filled spaces with colorful upholstery
- Glass walls and an emphasis on the outdoors
- Promotion of functionality

VINTAGE MID-CENTURY MODERN FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS
The mid-century modern era saw leagues of postwar American architects and designers animated by new ideas and new technology. The lean, functionalist International-style architecture of Le Corbusier and Bauhaus eminences Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius had been promoted in the United States during the 1930s by Philip Johnson and others. New building techniques, such as “post-and-beam” construction, allowed the International-style schemes to be realized on a small scale in open-plan houses with long walls of glass.
Materials developed for wartime use became available for domestic goods and were incorporated into mid-century modern furniture designs. Charles and Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen, who had experimented extensively with molded plywood, eagerly embraced fiberglass for pieces such as the La Chaise and the Womb chair, respectively.
Architect, writer and designer George Nelson created with his team shades for the Bubble lamp using a new translucent polymer skin and, as design director at Herman Miller, recruited the Eameses, Alexander Girard and others for projects at the legendary Michigan furniture manufacturer.
Harry Bertoia and Isamu Noguchi devised chairs and tables built of wire mesh and wire struts. Materials were repurposed too: The Danish-born designer Jens Risom created a line of chairs using surplus parachute straps for webbed seats and backrests.
The Risom lounge chair was among the first pieces of furniture commissioned and produced by celebrated manufacturer Knoll, a chief influencer in the rise of modern design in the United States, thanks to the work of Florence Knoll, the pioneering architect and designer who made the firm a leader in its field. The seating that Knoll created for office spaces — as well as pieces designed by Florence initially for commercial clients — soon became desirable for the home.
As the demand for casual, uncluttered furnishings grew, more mid-century furniture designers caught the spirit.
Classically oriented creators such as Edward Wormley, house designer for Dunbar Inc., offered such pieces as the sinuous Listen to Me chaise; the British expatriate T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings switched gears, creating items such as the tiered, biomorphic Mesa table. There were Young Turks such as Paul McCobb, who designed holistic groups of sleek, blond wood furniture, and Milo Baughman, who espoused a West Coast aesthetic in minimalist teak dining tables and lushly upholstered chairs and sofas with angular steel frames.
Generations turn over, and mid-century modern remains arguably the most popular style going. As the collection of vintage mid-century modern chairs, dressers, coffee tables and other furniture for the living room, dining room, bedroom and elsewhere on 1stDibs demonstrates, this period saw one of the most delightful and dramatic flowerings of creativity in design history.

Antonia Campi Tea Service for Six in Porcelain and Gold by Laveno 1950s
Located in Montecatini Terme, IT
Rare ceramic tea service for six in a very elegant light blue shade with decoration refined in pure gold, it was designed by Antonia Campi and manufactured by Laveno Ceramica in Verbano during the early 1950s.
This set is composed of six (6) teacups, six (6) tea saucers, one (1) sugar bowl, one (1) teapot, and one (1) milk jug.
Measurements:
-Six cups 6 x 8 x 5.5 cm (each)
-Sugar bowl 9 x 12 x 7 cm
-Teapot 19 x 16, 5 x 9.5 cm
-Milk Jug 11 x 12 x 7 cm.
In 1856 Carlo Caspani, Alessandro Carnelli, and Severino Revelli, three employees of the Richard Ginori ceramics factory in Milano, set up the Società Ceramica C.C.R. making use of a disused building that had been a glass factory near the lakeshore. Production mainly consisted in fine earthenware and fire bricks.
One of the key choices for the success of this initiative was an industrial-scale production of low-cost earthenware for domestic use.
The manufacture of Laveno was gaining reputation; so that in 1869 part of its activity had to be moved to a new building called “Lago”.
In 1883 it adopted a new denomination, Società Ceramica Italiana (with an S.C.I. trademark) that was to become famous.
During this period, S.C.I. was led by bright managers: Tommaso Bossi and his successor Luciano Scotti, a graduate in engineering who led the company all the time from 1895 to 1956, raising it to its top level of capacity and production.
In 1925 the Mulini plant was built in the Boesio area, where the blends and ''bodies'' were prepared. The Magazzini Generali (a warehouse), were also built and directly connected to the railway network. All the factory sites were interconnected by a “Decauville” railway for transporting materials. Also in 1925 the Verbano plant was built, following an agreement with the German Rosenthal company, for producing porcelain tableware and, later, ceramic insulators.
The drive for innovation in production technologies, that took place during the Twenties, was accompanied by an equally intense artistic development. During the twenty's the architect Piero Portaluppi started collaborating with S.C.I. and thanks to Luciano Scotti’s foresight, young Guido Andlovitz, who had entered the company in 1923, was appointed art director in 1925, who introduced a renewal in the style of shapes and decorations, so that towards the end of the 1920s Ceramica di Laveno competed with Richard-Ginori, for the leading position in the ceramic art of Italy.
Near the end of the 1930s, collaboration was started with Angelo Biancini, who created a new product line of artisan taste.
In the late Forties, the young Antonia Campi joins the company as a decoration worker. Immediately, Guido Andlovitz notes her ability and potential qualities, and moves her into the artistic department. Starting with her 1948 first tiny vase...
