There was a vogue for solid gold articles in the middle of the 20th century in either 18 or 22 carat gold; teapots, salvers, table services, mugs, beakers, dressing table sets, cocktail shakers and cigarette boxes are known. Many of these articles were based on historic English designs of the 17th/18th century.
