Cup and saucer from a tea service c. 1928

This cup and saucer is part of a larger tea service designed by Margarete Heymann-Marks Löbenstein, a German-American artist, circa 1928. The service, now located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is characterized by its simplified, geometric forms and the playful addition of rounded, organic handles. Löbenstein's work often reflects the clean lines and functional aesthetic of the Art Deco movement, making this tea service a prime example of her artistic style.
