About MeThis tea service includes a hot water jug, teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl. The clean curving lines of the design and lack of decoration are typical of the Modernist style.

The designer, Eric Clements (b.1925), executed a number of ceremonial commissions throughout a distinguished career as an industrial designer and teacher. He was a consultant designer for Mappin & Webb Ltd, the firm which made this piece.
