Showcasing a dash of Deco glamour and crafted from spun brass, the Form Tea Set channels and celebrates the art of the British tea service. Bakelite insulating handles add a striking contrast in black.
The pieces are dipped in a warm-gold wash that will oxidize over time, creating a patina. Liquids and a humid environment will speed up this process. If you want to avoid the patina altogether, you can purchase the set for display, or only use the pieces to hold dry consumables.
Below we see a beauty shot of the Form Teapot (also available in small), as well as the Form Milk Jug:

Anderson was inspired by the Moroccan ritual of offering guests mint tea upon their arrival, and he wanted a way to do the same for clients visiting the New York City studio.
To achieve the geo black and white design, the hand-thrown porcelain pieces undergo a five-part glazing process, which includes applying three layers of matte black underglaze, and then masking and dipping the items into a white satin glaze.
In case you were wondering, the brass spoons do in fact come with the Shift Cup and Saucer Set! Because there’s nothing more eye-catching than a dash of metallic flair to accompany a bold black and white design.
