This elegant 5-piece tea set by Hein Matten from the 1950s combines functionality and form in the spirit of German Bauhaus design. The combination of smoky glass, brass elements, and wrapped raffia handles gives the cups a distinctive material contrast – cool, warm, handcrafted.

The delicate spoons with their spherical ends underscore the clear design language and the subtle balance between line and curve. A harmonious ensemble typical of post-war modernism: simple, precise, and full of character.

An authentic collector's item of German design history – perfect for lovers of Bauhaus-inspired table culture.

My tip: Place the set on a light wooden tray or marble base – the interplay of the materials looks particularly elegant in the light.
