A STUNNING SET, DON´T MISS THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY !!  I think that if someone had shown me this set as an example of ART DECO 35 years ago I might have understood the movement and its purpose and origins and its attraction a lot earlier than I did. This is such a perfect example that I simply had to have it (and another (Dutch) one we'll be listing later in the month).  This set is flawless for its age and nearly priceless. And, it still works, and works well. You can even make coffee or tea in the ceramic teapot using a mirowave, slip-on the silver cozy, and the beverage stays warm for hours!  There is a reserve on this piece- it cost a lot to bring it here from Germany,but it was worth it, if only for its artistic value.      Place a Bid!
