Teapot from a tea service c. 1928

This Art Deco tea service was designed by American artist Virginia Hamill circa 1928. The set, comprised of a teapot, creamer, sugar bowl, and tray, is made of polished silver and features black Bakelite handles for a contrasting effect. The design's clean lines and geometric forms embody the streamlined aesthetic of the Art Deco movement, making it a prime example of American silver design from the period. This tea service is currently in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
