ABOUT PRODUCTID 6241
The 'Exposition 1937' tea set was designed by Camille Tharaud for Limoges, created for the Paris World’s Fair of 1937. The ensemble comprises a rounded teapot with a domed lid, eight cups, and eight matching saucers. The porcelain is rendered in a cool, pure white with a subtle bluish undertone, lending the set a sense of clarity and freshness. The finish is glossy, with perfectly smooth surfaces and restrained, harmonious lines. Both the teapot and the cup handles are ergonomically curved, and the proportions are carefully balanced in line with the modernist spirit of the 1930s. The absence of patterns or colorful accents emphasizes the functional elegance of the design. The set is preserved in excellent condition, showing no chips, cracks, or visible signs of use. This tea set echoes the voice of pre-war France, evoking the ideals of 'Art and Technology in Modern Life' from the 1937 Exposition. The porcelain speaks in the pure language of geometric simplicity, where every curve and surface is purposeful. Light glides softly over the lustrous white, while the faint bluish reflection recalls the cool morning light in a Parisian salon. Rather than opulence, this object tells a story of refined discipline and modern restraint, as if the set itself invites you to tea—promising a moment of quiet contemplation. The set may be used in a classically decorated living room or in a minimalist interior with an art déco accent. It would pair well with a walnut or lacquered wood table, complemented by simple, chromed cutlery and geometric cognac glasses. Consider combining it with a linen tablecloth in off-white or with glass platters to enhance the clarity of the composition. The set would also suit eclectic
