The LBD of dinnerware.
A mid-century modern design icon meets the most widely sold American dinnerware in history. Russel Wright is credited with bringing modern design into American homes over the first half of the 20th century. His line, launched in 1939, has trademark curvy silhouettes and rounded corners—they’re so easy to dress up and down, in fact, that Wright likened them to “the little black dress." Today, Bauer is the only place making the Russel Wright American Modern line (and we got to head to their Southern California property to see it in action). This set of handmade ceramics brings the vision together with Russel Wright's exclusive designs in a gorgeous glaze and a range of color options.
