Engineering:Cabaret service

The term cabaret service (also known as dejeuner service[1]) is used to designate small tea or coffee services. A typical cabaret service includes (in addition to cups and saucers[1]) a teapot or a coffeepot (with a lid and occasionally a stand[2]), a sugar bowl, a creamer, sometimes a tray[3][4] and cutlery.[5] In the 18th century a spoon boat was frequently a part of the set.[6] The tea- and coffeepots are small (one pint in a service for two, so called tête-à-tête, half a pint in a solitaire service for one),[3] the cups and saucers are frequently also smaller than the ones in the regular sets.[1] Tête-à-tête services were popular as wedding gifts.
The cabaret services originated in France, where the tea drinking was not ritualized, and thus small-scale arrangements for one or two were appropriate.[7] The cabaret services characteristically utilized unusual designs and extensive decorations,[4] this "jewel-like" appearance hints at marketing oriented towards ladies.[7]
In the 18th century silver (gilded) cabaret services with fitting cases were made for travel.[5]
