Commissioned originally for major premium hospitality and transit projects in the 1930s (such as grand hotels and luxury ocean liners), this collection trades ornamental flourishes for sleek, geometric silhouettes. Key design accents include the sharp, architectural handles with a structural step cutout and clean, tapered forms. Teapot / Coffee Pot (middle left): Features a tightly integrated hinge and a smooth hemispherical lid knob. Teapot)coffeepot: cm. 11x15x6 Creamer / Milk Jug (middle right): Designed with an open top and a matching angular geometric handle. Milk Jug: cm. 9.5x12x5.3 Pair of Bud Vases (outer sides): Elegant, trumpet-shaped single-flower vases (vasi monofiore) resting on stepped round bases Cups: cm. 17x6.5.4.5 These pieces were produced using silver-plated Alpacca (also known as nickel silver), a durable alloy heavily favored for high-end hotel ware due to its structural strength and brilliant shine under polish. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
