This elegant coffeepot is part of a 25-piece table service that was designed by Eva Zeisel and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 1946. Known as the Museum Service , it was touted as the first modern formal dinnerware to be executed in porcelain. By combining organically undulating lines with a clean, unadorned ivory surface, Zeisel’s design evokes a sense of modernism that appealed to a design-conscious audience, while retaining a traditional, recognizable form.
