Decades of history are baked into these ceramic pieces from Bauer Pottery. Take their classic mid-century modern designs, for example—they’re Hollywood hot and California cool. An essential figure in their work was the famed industrial designer Russel Wright, who believed that the table was the center of the home (we’re inclined to agree). Wright was immensely influential in bringing modern design to American homes. Though the Bauer brand was shuttered in the 1960s, it was revived in 1998 and the iconic Russel Wright ceramics designs have been brought back to life. Today, it’s still the most widely sold American dinnerware ever in history.

Classic, chic

The simple yet unique design is a lovely addition to our table. The pink is so fun! Will definitely purchase more pieces.

missed the mark

I use my vintage Russel Wright as my everyday dishes so was happy to see they were brought back into production. I ordered 2 grey and 2 chartreuse plates to integrate into my collection. The new plates are not as elegant as the originals. The lip on the new model is thicker and clumsier than the original. There are color variations among my vintage chartreuse, but the reissue color is markedly more green and at least a shade darker than any of my other pieces. Overall they did not meet my expectations.

Beautiful serving plate, vibrant color

This is a modern-yet-retro serving plate, more oversized plate sized than a platter. The color is beautiful, the glaze dimensional and vibrant. Would love to add more of this collection.
