About the Item

A large six-piece sterling silver service for coffee and tea that consists of a gallery tray, a coffee pot, a tea pot, a hot milk or chocolate pot, a sugar and a milk jar. This stunning modernist set was designed and made by William Spratling circa 1964-67, during his third design period. The model belongs to a series called "Incision line" as the surface of the piece features incised geometrical lines in contrast with rather robust forms: The swirling pattern on the tray was inspired by the Mexican endless knot, and the curvy lines on the holloware resemble drapery. Exotic wood was used as the handle and accent inlays for the finials. The workmanship was superb showing modern form. The surface decoration and exposed pins and joints, iconic to Spratling designs pay homage to the Mexican art and culture. Total weight is 155.8 oz t. There is an additional ensuite piece, a waste bowl which belongs to the same series. It has slightly different line pattern and was made in slightly early years (1951-1956). It was listed as a separate piece but would make a great addition to this set. All pieces are sterling marked as shown which date the set to 1964-1967. For pieces in the "incision" series, see page 91 of "Spratling Silver: A Field Guide" Goddard.

Alan Adler Sterling Silver Walnut Modernist Hand Wrought Serving Coffee Set
Located in New York, NY
This elegant sterling silver and walnut coffee set was realized by the legendary designer Allan Adler in the United States circa 1950. The set features a coffee pot, sugar bowl and spoon, and creamer. Created in sterling silver, this set showcases Allan Adler's signature aesthetic- a kind of traditional modernism applying a pared down minimalist perspective to classical design elements. Here the silhouettes of the pieces look traditional but feature idiosyncratic details that clearly indicate their modernism- as fresh looking today as when it was made. The hand rubbed walnut handles are hewn in an amorphic shape that flares asymmetrically at its end. It is inescapably a modern form. It is pared, however, with historical language (from Art Nouveau for instance) that roots the pieces in a more traditionalist place. They feature stylized vine motifs on the finial of the coffee pot top and leaf motifs that trace the circular bases. The protuberant bodies created in lustrous sterling salver taper at each end. This is an outstanding example of Adler's practice that represents his inimitable aesthetic at its very best. It is sure to delight collectors of his work, as well as those with a penchant for beautifully crafted and special objects. It is signed "Adler Sterling" on the base and is in excellent vintage condition. Adler began his career as an apprentice in 1938, designing silverware and inspired by the design of the early 1900s specifically Art Nouveau. His name became associated with Hollywood glamour in the early 1940s. he was commissioned to design mini-Oscars for Academy Award winners, crowns for Miss Universe and Miss USA, and silver bowls and candlesticks for celebrities and dignitaries. During John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign, Adler was commissioned to create a silver coffee urn...
