A standout Atomic-era collectible that combines bold design with sculptural form — ideal for display or use in a retro-inspired interior. ‘Zebra’ Stripes with Sunny Yellow Interiors , Pure Mid-Century Modern Perfection This design epitomises 1950s–70s Atomic-era optimism, where geometric precision met sculptural form. The elongated teapot, fluted sugar bowl, and radiating saucers echo the futuristic design language that defined the post-war decades. Each piece is hand-painted, making this set both collectible and visually stunning. The pattern and form closely align with continental MCM trends from Scandinavia and Germany, yet this set stands out for its distinctly Portuguese craftsmanship and flair — rare to find in such complete and well-preserved condition. All cups and saucers are free from chips and cracks. Some glaze imperfections, light scuffs, and signs of age throughout. Minor surface wear and a few small restored areas visible upon close inspection. Glossy finish remains strong, and colours are vibrant.
