Bold. Architectural. Iconic mid-century design.
These striking 1960s Schmid Porcelain cup and saucer sets by American ceramicist LaGardo Tackett (1911–1984) are more than vintage. They are examples of mid-century modern design at its finest.
Dimensions:
Cup 1 3/4" tall, 3 3/16" diameter
Saucer 5 3/16" diameter
The signature flat-walled cups and minimalist saucers reflect Tackett’s modernist vision, merging Bauhaus discipline with Japanese restraint. No decoration, no distraction, just sculptural form and refined function.
This minimalist porcelain set was designed for, and utilized in, 1960s airline and hospitality service. While unbranded, these pieces are iconic examples of in-flight catering design, reflecting the mid-century modern aesthetic favored by major carriers of the era..
This lot is a complete service for five, including five cups and five saucers, each showcasing the clean, minimalist, and purposefully sculptural elements that make Tackett’s work so collectible.
