Tea pot from a tea set c. 1925

This teapot is part of a silver tea set designed by Ilonka Karasz, a prominent figure in American design in the 20th century. The set is known for its distinctive, sleek, Art Deco style, characterized by the use of geometric forms, clean lines, and smooth, polished surfaces. This piece, crafted in 1925, is an excellent example of Karasz's ability to combine functionality with aesthetic elegance. The teapot features a unique ribbed design with a contrasting black ebony handle, creating a striking visual appeal.
