An exceptional three-piece tea set in a modernist style, consisting of: an electric kettle, a sugar bowl with a lid, and a milk pitcher. Crafted from brass with an elegant hammered finish featuring a regular longitudinal pattern. The kettle features its iconic arched top handle covered with braided natural wicker strands, with the original electrical connections preserved on the rear base. This set embodies the famous modular design that the pioneering master Peter Behrens (1868–1940) originally conceived in 1909 for the AEG company. This edition was produced in Switzerland by the prestigious appliance manufacturer Therma, as evidenced by the stamped mark bearing the brand’s monogram (“T” in a shield) on the reverse side of the teapot, as well as the technical inscriptions and factory serial numbers engraved on the base of the kettle. Teapot dimensions: 22.5 x 17 x 23 cm; Creamer dimensions: 11 x 7 x 11 cm; Sugar bowl dimensions: 11 x 10 x 13.5 cm Provenance: Private European collection.
