A Brief History of the "Snack Set":These clever combination sets—often called "tennis sets," "hostess sets," or "TV trays"—first gained popularity in the early-to-mid 20th century. Before television, they were used at garden parties so guests could hold a teacup and a slice of cake in one hand while standing and socializing.By the 1950s and 1960s, snack sets exploded in popularity across America and Europe to accommodate the new casual trend of eating while watching TV. Beautifully decorated porcelain sets like this allowed hosts to serve refreshments seamlessly during bridge games, book clubs, and family gatherings without needing a full dining table setup. The sweet violet pattern was a highly coveted choice, symbolizing modesty, faithfulness, and classic vintage charm. Condition: Used.
