Feeling a little stressed? The old standard, a cup of tea has its merits. And this teapot is stress-free by design. As with all things, the devil is in the details - Russel Wright does not disappoint. The handle allows a hand to slip in comfortably; the lid has a catch and the spout pours smoothly without dripping. This just might be the best teapot that you have ever owned. Russel Wright American Modern Teapot in Granite Gray has the clean lines so distinctive of the designer’s work - long curves without hard edges inspired by the natural world. The gray glaze has the depth and variation of color as does granite. Depending on the light, beneath the gray, you will catch a bit of blue as well. #teapots #russelwright AmericanModern #Steubenville #Teapot #modern #organicdesign #minimalist #MCM #vintagestyle #vintagehomewares #etsyshop #etsyseller #etsymagazine #etsyvintage https://etsy.me/2Hegp2x
Russel Wright Coasters in Coral produced by Steubenville Pottery from 1939-1959. American Modern remains the best selling dinnerware ever produced . . . No need to keep it in the kitchen. This little tray will hold a ring . . . now there is an idea. Certainly, a novel idea to woo a Modern Millie. #homedecor #Barware #Coasters #RusselWright #Coral #ModernDinnerware #AmericanModern #SteubenvillePottery #MinimalistDesign #OrganicDesign #Coasters #ModernDesign #vintagetsyle #MCM #etsymagazine #etsyseller #etsysuccess #etsyvintage #madeinusa #vintageetsyshop etsy.me/2HuCBlA

Easter Greetings.
A dinner plate that is a great piece of functional art . . . Dawn designed by Eva Zeisel for Hallcraft. The Ovoid plate is done with a Coupe Shape - a sophisticated and modern statement relevant to the craft of pottery. But, so very difficult to execute! Produced by Hall Pottery in East Liverpool, Ohio from 1952. #dawn #evazeisel #hallcraft #MCM #hallpottery #eastliverpool #madeinusa #madeinohio #vintagestyle #etsyseller #etsymagazine #etsysuccess #etsyvintage #womenartists https://etsy.me/2Ghhzd7
Tis the Season to think about rabbits, chickens and ducks. . . Happy Spring! The Season of Renewal . . . The Tale of Beatrix Potter, Last Watercolour from The Rabbit’s Christmas Party, Unpublished. Hobbs, in the Dulwich Picture Gallery exhibition catalogue, noted “The attitudes are both rabbit-like and human. Only an artist with an intimate knowledge of anatomy could convey so well both musculature and the texture of fur. Remarkable, as in all Potter’s animal drawing, is her observation of ears.” #beatrixpotter #watercolors #rabbits #etsyseller
