- Caberet Set - A cabaret set is another name for a small tea or coffee service, and usually consists of two cups and saucers, a small teapot, a sugar bowl, a cream jug and a tray.
- Cabaret Set - A cabaret set, also known as a coffee or tea cabaret, is a set of matching cups, saucers, and serving pieces, typically including a coffee pot, tea pot, cream and sugar container, and a tray, used for serving coffee or tea. The term "cabaret set" comes from the fact that these types of sets were often used in cabarets, which are venues for entertainment such as music, dance, and theater. They were typically used in these venues to serve drinks during intermissions or after the performance.
These settings were also popular in the Art Deco period, where they were used to entertain guests in private homes. The sets were often made of luxurious materials such as silver or porcelain and were decorated with bold geometric designs, stylized figures, and geometric shapes which are the hallmarks of the Art Deco style. The sets were often used to showcase the host's wealth, taste and cultural sophistication.
