Description
An exceptional and highly collectible original 1929 Art Deco tea set by Carlton Ware Ltd, created exclusively for the prestigious Parisian tea house Mariage Frères. This rare ensemble perfectly captures the bold sophistication of the Art Deco movement, combining striking design with refined craftsmanship.
The set comprises a teapot, sugar pot, milk jug, and two cups with matching saucers, each piece finished in a deep matte black glaze. This dramatic ground is elegantly contrasted with finely applied gilt motifs, showcasing geometric stylisation and luxurious restraint typical of the period. The balance between form, surface, and decoration reflects the height of late 1920s design sensibility.
Notably, a similar example was owned by renowned designer Karl Lagerfeld, whose discerning eye for decorative arts has further elevated the desirability and value of this model among collectors.
Both sculptural and functional, this tea set stands as a superb representation of Art Deco elegance—ideal for collectors of fine ceramics, design enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a statement piece with strong provenance and enduring visual impact.
