russel wright reborn

so i'm scrolling through old posts of apartment therapy looking for a picture of a room that i am convinced i saw on there a few days ago and i come across this post. It turns out that bauer pottery is reissuing some pieces of russel wright's american modern pottery collection.

many of you dont know this but i actually collect russel wright american pottery (the real vintage version circa 1939-1959) and i have been since about the age of 13. on one hand i think it is pretty cool that at a young age i started this collection and scoured antique malls and vintage stores for pristine pieces. on the other hand i was a young, naive girl who thought that i really wanted to collect the coral and seafoam colors. these colors are of the most rare of the line to find, especially in good condition but nonetheless i maybe should have chosen otherwise.

i guess i never really considered eating or serving with it, so as to not ruin my pieces until i saw that post. i think pieces of this new american modern could be intergrated into an all white set, but a whole table of it just doesn't look right unless it is in a display at an antique shop. if i ever find the right cabinet on craigslist, i will dust off my collection and proudly display it in my home.

a side note: the images from the russel wright design gallery are so beautiful. i suggest that everyone check them out.
