"Melon"Art Déco Mocha Service
White/Gold
Josef Hoffmann,
founder of the legendary
“Wiener Werkstätte”,
designed this world renowned mocha service in 1929. *
Hoffmann was one of the greatest designers
of the 20th century and,
along with Gustav Klimt, Adolf Loos and Otto Wagner,
he was a member of the
Wiener Sezession.
The melons service is available in pink, light blue, red, yellow, turquoise, orange, black, violet, green and black-gold.
Due to the large number of rounded features, it continues to place very high demands on the porcelain painters at Augarten when using the airbrush." *

I was trying to put a draft for next day's post together, but was too tired to finish it. I thought a teaser would at least send out a signal that something will come up, sooner or later. :-)

I share your longing. I have had tender feelings for that sugar bowl for a long time. I recently photographed one painted like a clown-bunny. Sweet. ;-)
Tracy:
I felt like a princess amongst all that splendor, imagining what would happen if the sugar pumpkin would come to life, or that magic gourd,
the white horses waiting,
oh, the places we would go!
Wanna come along? :-)
