Grant Wood, a renowned American artist known for his regionalist paintings, created this stunning silver teapot set, a departure from his usual subject matter. This meticulously crafted set, with its simple yet elegant design, exemplifies the Arts and Crafts movement, emphasizing handcrafted quality and functional beauty. The teapot and its accompanying creamer and sugar bowl, with their smooth, hammered surfaces and delicate ivory accents, embody the movement's focus on artisanal excellence, adding a touch of understated elegance to any table.
Comments
In 1914, the American regionalist painter Grant Wood and Kristopher Haga, a Norwegian silversmith, both students at the Kalo metalware shops in Chicago formed the Volund Craft Shops in Park Ridge, Illinois. The enterprise, named for the Norwegian god of silversmithing, only lasted eighteen months due to insufficient funds. The shops produced small gold and silver items such as jewelry, boxes, and buckles. Hollow ware forms such as this coffee and tea set were rare for the shop and it is among the most ambitious productions ever undertaken by Wood and Haga.
