Frank McEntee was a prolific creator of household items and accessories during the 1930s and 1940s. His innovative designs brought both functionality and style to everyday objects. One such creation was the Coffee Grinder, crafted around 1940. With its sleek design and precise grinding mechanism, it revolutionized morning routines for coffee lovers. In addition to the Coffee Grinder, McEntee also designed a Nutcracker in 1937 that showcased his attention to detail. Its sturdy construction ensured that even the toughest nuts could be cracked effortlessly. McEntee's creativity extended beyond kitchenware as well. The Kettle Ring he created in 1938 added an elegant touch to teatime rituals with its intricate patterns and polished finish. Another notable piece by McEntee was the Drinking Vessel or Loving Cup from 1936. This exquisite cup served as a symbol of celebration, bringing people together for special occasions with its graceful curves and ornate handles. The Coffee Pot, another masterpiece by McEntee dating back to either 1935 or 1942, combined practicality with timeless beauty. Its ergonomic handle made pouring effortless while adding a touch of sophistication to any table setting. Moving on from kitchenware, Frank McEntee's talent extended into fashion too. His Ladies Slippers from around 1939 were not only comfortable but also exuded elegance through their delicate embroidery and soft materials. Even seemingly mundane objects like a Toaster or Broiler became works of art under McEntee's craftsmanship in approximately 1939. These appliances transformed breakfast preparation into an aesthetic experience with their streamlined design and impeccable functionality. McEntee didn't limit himself to functional items alone; he also designed pieces like Hat Box in either 1935 or 1942 that elevated storage solutions into fashionable accessories themselves – showcasing his ability to blend form with function seamlessly. One surprising item among his creations is the Corset from 1937.
