Russel Wright's American Modern was the best-selling dinnerware of the mid-century — soft, curving forms first produced in 1939 that put modern design on everyday American tables. Bauer Pottery reissues the line from Wright's original molds, glazing each piece by hand in Southern California in Bauer's own colors alongside Wright's classics.
The coffee mug is the one piece Wright never drew — Bauer added it to the line in the American Modern spirit, with the same smooth glaze and a simple side handle. A generous everyday mug that pairs with the cup and saucer and tumbler.
