I've been looking for examples of this glassware for quite some time, just so I could start exploring the possibility that they are a Wright design. Some time ago, I stumbled across a lemonade set of the same design on the internet with the Wright attribution. This piqued my interest, since so many factors seem to me to be correct for a Wright attribution. Short of actual documentation from the manufacturer, saying for certain if this is a Wright design will be near impossible. My reasons for paying credence to the attribution, however, are as follows ...
First off, it appears to be of the correct time period. It is in a style that is very 30's modern. The materials and style are also convincing. Wright is well known for his mixing of materials, as well as his love for all things natural. Plus, he always used high quality materials. With their beautiful natural rattan handle wrap and hand blown glass, these designs whisper "Wright" to me. The graceful pinch creating the spout on this creamer seems to be something Wright might have done. More convincing evidence is the pattern of weaving the rattan handle—it is exactly the same as documented Wright designs using woven rattan. I may possibly be wrong, and would entertain any information on this subject.
