The Little Dripper is a complete drip coffee set designed in 1987 by Michael Graves, the great icon of American post-modern design and architecture. It is the perfect companion for the coffee conscious person. A rare piece, even rarer as a complete set, it is now found in many American and European museums collections. This complete set contains a lidded coffee pot with drip spout, a lidded sugar bowl with spoon and a creamer. Spheres standing on cross bases in maroon, and decorated with green wavy lines and dots. Made in porcelain and manufactured from 1989 to 1990 by Swid Powell, another benchmark in American Post-Modern history.

Enameled and gilt porcelain.
