This tea set is based on the original made in the Suprematist style (also known as Geometric Abstractionism) after a design by Kasimir Malevich at the St Petersburg Lomonosov Porcelain Factory in the 1920s. The design of the teapot possibly presents Malevich's concept of a teapot in general. The combination of diametrically opposite forms-three-dimensional and flat, round and rectangular-creates a striking effect.

Hand-molded porcelain.
