Modern Tea Sets

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

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...
