Tea And Coffee Service, Rhythm
This is a tea and coffee service. It was manufactured by R. Wallace & Sons Manufacturing Company. It is dated 1929. Its medium is silver, plastic.
Born near Birmingham, England, Percy Ball immigrated with his family to Providence, Rhode Island. From 1893 Ball worked at Gorham while studying painting. His career included work for major American silver manufacturers such as Wallace, for whom this Rhythm pattern was a modern departure in its attenuated lines and plastic accents.
