Cup and saucer from -Tea for Two- service c. 1930

This cup and saucer is part of the "Tea for Two" service designed by Eric Slater around 1930. The Art Deco design features bold geometric shapes in black, orange, and yellow against a white background. The repeating pattern of stylized flower motifs adds a sense of rhythm and movement, characteristic of the Art Deco style, and is likely to be a stylized floral, referencing nature, a popular theme in Art Deco. The piece is a fine example of British Art Deco design, showcasing the movement’s emphasis on geometric patterns and vibrant color palettes. The cup and saucer are currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
