Sugar basin from a tea service c. 1928

This Art Deco-style tea service, created by Virginia Hamill in 1928, is a sleek and modern design. Composed of a teapot, two sugar basins, and a tray with black Bakelite handles, the service emphasizes the smooth, reflective surfaces typical of the period. The set is currently part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection. The geometric forms and the polished silver surfaces convey a sense of sophistication and functionality, making it a quintessential example of Art Deco design.
