Stainless Steel, Resin Mirror Steel + 3 Colors 18,0 cm x 16,0 cm - h 19,0 cm
Afternoon tea is built step by step, and each step has its piece. From brewing to the last cake, very little is needed: a teapot, what goes beside the cup, and something to raise the food off the table. Sambonet has been making these pieces in stainless steel since 1856, across collections with a recognisable formal language.
It starts with the tea. The leaves brew in the teapot and stay there while you pour, so choose the capacity for the number of people at the table — a slightly larger teapot beats a second brew halfway through. A jug of hot water sits alongside, to soften the tea once it has drawn too strong. Then come the things that go with the cup: a sugar bowl, or a honey pot for those who sweeten that way, and a milk jug, which in the tea tradition is part of the service rather than an extra. A tray holds it all together and carries the service through in one trip.
Pastries and biscuits belong on the cake stands: the two-tier model builds upwards instead of outwards, keeps different kinds apart and leaves the table clear, while the version with individual plates serves portions already separated. If there is a cake rather than pastries, a single-tier stand is the right support, paired with a cake server for cutting. For fruit there are dedicated stands with deeper rims. Anyone who prefers savoury brings finger sandwiches, served on a tray or on the lower tier: by custom the savouries sit below and the sweet above, because that is the order they are eaten in. Cake forks handle the slices, teaspoons the stirring.
Stainless steel keeps its shine and holds no odour or flavour from the brew — which matters when the same teapot moves from a black tea to a scented one. Silver-plated pieces and silver-plated alpacca are treated like stainless steel, with one caution: no abrasive products, and no metal or synthetic scourers, which damage the silver layer permanently. The finishes available — mirror steel, silver plate, PVD gold and champagne, vintage — let you build a matching service or mix pieces across collections.
