Tiffany & Co. Weave Tennis Set

Elevate entertaining with these exquisite vintage Tiffany & Co. Weave Tennis sets, designed by celebrated Irish designer Cybil Connolly and made in Ireland. Crafted in luminous white porcelain, each piece features a finely detailed basket-weave texture paired with an organically shaped, integrated snack plate—an enduring design that reflects both elegance and practicality.

Design & History

Tennis or “snack” sets originated in the early 20th century as a refined solution for serving light refreshments during lawn tennis matches and afternoon social gatherings. Designed to be used one-handed, the attached plate allowed guests to enjoy tea, coffee, and small bites without the need for a full table setting. Tiffany & Co.’s interpretation, elevated by Cybil Connolly’s sophisticated design sensibility, transformed this functional form into a collectible classic.

Connolly’s Weave pattern is admired for its subtle texture and timeless appeal, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern simplicity. These sets are equally suited for tea service, desserts, berries, or cocktail-hour nibbles. A beautiful addition for collectors of Tiffany & Co., Cybil Connolly designs, or classic entertaining pieces—these Weave tennis sets embody timeless style and thoughtful design.
