Art Deco Silver Teapot – Kempen & Zonen, Netherlands, 1919

Elegant and authentic Dutch Art Deco teapot in solid silver, made by the renowned silversmith Kempen & Zonen in Voorschoten.

The teapot features a refined octagonal body, a gently curved spout, and an original ebonised wooden handle for safe handling. The design is sober, architectural, and perfectly in line with early Art Deco aesthetics, where geometry and proportion take precedence over excess ornamentation.
