1960 LaGardo Tackett Airline Flat Cup & Saucer Set by Schmid

Clean. Bold. Architectural. These striking 1960s Schmid Porcelain cup and saucer sets by LaGardo Tackett aren’t just vintage, they're iconic mid-century design.

The signature flat-walled cup and minimalist saucer reflect Tackett’s modernist vision, merging Bauhaus discipline with Japanese restraint. No decoration, no distraction, just sculptural form and refined function. Originally created for airline and hospitality service (reportedly used by American Airlines), the “White Tack” line brings sophistication to even the simplest ritual.
