Swid Powell Big Dripper Coffee Set Michael Graves Art Deco Rare Vintage Modern

  
Swid Powell Big Dripper Coffee Set Michael Graves Art Deco Rare Vintage 80's. The "Big Dripper" Coffee / Tea set with Sugar and Creamer set. Limited edition design and collection by architect Michael Graves in the 1980's. Graves was part of the respected architects of his time known as the New York Five architect group. Swid Powell showcased their works in a series of collections. The Big Dripper coffeepot / teapot is glazed white porcelain and enamel, made in Japan in the 80's. It has 12 to 14 cup capacity.

The geometrical pot has wavy horizontal lines and red brick X-base. A gold gilt ball tops the lid.

A loop handle ties together form + function. The ceramic coffee filter is 8 3/4 in size and sits atop the pot to fresh brew coffee. It can hold paper filters. Sugar and creamer complete this architectural serving set.

Sugar with lid is 4 3/4 and includes rare matching ceramic spoon that slips into resting place. Creamer is just over 4 inches and has loop handle. Facsimile signature on base with Swid Powell Graves and The Big Dripper. Displayed in US and European museum post mid-century modern collections including the Brooklyn Museum, RISD Museum and Yale University Art Gallery. Graves designed The Big Dripper to match his preferred method of drip coffee while also holding to his rigorous aesthetic standards.

I also have and use The Little Dripper and works well. Price is for the set. Reach out with any questions. Photos are original and of actual items and cannot be published or reproduced/altered/ used anywhere outside this listing.
