A classic Russel Wright American Modern covered sugar bowl in a vibrant glossy chartreuse glaze, produced by Steubenville Pottery as part of Wright’s landmark American Modern dinnerware line. Measuring approximately 3 x 6 inches, this piece has Wright’s signature rounded, biomorphic form, with a soft sculptural body, fitted lid, and integrated side handles designed for relaxed everyday service.
Russel Wright’s American Modern dinnerware, produced from 1939 to 1959, became one of the best-selling ceramic dinnerware lines in history. Its popularity came from Wright’s revolutionary vision for modern American living: casual, functional tableware with organic shapes, relaxed silhouettes, and mix-and-match colors that felt stylish but approachable for daily use.
This chartreuse sugar bowl is part of the Todd Oldham Studio Collection of modern pottery. Todd has long been a fan of interesting modern pottery, especially pieces designed for everyday use, making this a fitting example from his collection. The bright chartreuse color and fluid form capture the optimism and practical elegance of mid-century American design.
Excellent condition
