The Wiener Werkstätte pattern book records the production of 3 such tea sets – one each in 1922, 1924 and 1926. Josef Hoffmann also exhibited one of these sets at the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925.

In 2014, we showed an identical set at the TEFAF (catalogue number 30), which we had acquired in the USA and sold to a renowned art collector.

Shown at: MAK Vienna, Josef Hoffmann 1870-1956. Progress Through Beauty, December 2021 until June 2022
