This silver teapot, designed by Louis W. Rice, is an example of Art Deco design, a style that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The teapot’s geometric shape and sleek lines reflect the Art Deco emphasis on geometric forms and modern materials. The teapot's design, which references skyscrapers, exemplifies the style's embrace of modern technology and urban life. This particular teapot, part of a larger “Apollo Sky-Scraper” set, currently resides in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Designers of accessories for the urban home soon drew on the "vertical" city's premier 1920s emblem, the skyscraper, as an appropriate design motif. Its terraced step-back form provided the inspiration for a host of home furnishings, including this "Skyscraper" tea and coffee set by Louis W. Rice.
