Bold. Architectural. Iconic mid-century design.

These striking 1960s Schmid Porcelain cup and saucer sets by American ceramicist LaGardo Tackett (1911–1984) are more than vintage. They are examples of mid-century modern design at its finest.

The signature flat-walled cups and minimalist saucers reflect Tackett’s modernist vision, merging Bauhaus discipline with Japanese restraint. No decoration, no distraction, just sculptural form and refined function. Originally created for airline and hospitality service, reportedly used by American Airlines, the White Tack line brings sophistication to even the simplest daily ritual.

This lot is a complete service for five, including five cups and five saucers, each showcasing the clean, minimalist, and purposefully sculptural elements that make Tackett’s work so collectible. No chips or cracks.

Approximate measurements:
Cup 1 3/4" tall, 3 3/16" diameter
Saucer 5 3/16" diameter
