06-022. Ben Seibel
Tempron Taste Tempters BW-1684 casserole
Gilley, Inc.
USA, 1951
9.25 x 13.25 x 3.75"
Iron and sea grass
Unsigned

Even though it is highly under-appreciated by many collectors, Tempron Taste Tempters is among my favorite Seibel lines. If I had the resources to make it happen, I think a setting consisting of Roseville's Raymor Modern Stoneware with Morgantown Raymor Modern Glassware and Gilley Tempron Taste Tempters serving pieces would be my ideal table.

Seibel's lines for Gilley were never marked, and many collectors feel that they don't "feel" like his work. because of this, I am afraid that they'll continue to go relatively unrecognized. While this means I'll still be able to find pieces from time to time in thrift shops like I did today, I think this line deserves more attention than it currently is given.

Found on March 08, 2006 in St. Paul, MN.
