Tea for One Porcelain Set - Matteo Thun for Arzberg, 1980s

A postmodern porcelain "Tea for One" set designed by Matteo Thun for Arzberg in 1980s Germany. Created during the height of Memphis-inflected design, the set brings together rounded forms, contrasting handles, and soft pastel accents in a way that feels both playful and precise.
