07-012. Russel Wright
American Modern tea cup
Steubenville Pottery
USA, 1939
3.75 x 4.75 x 2"
Glazed ceramic
Unmarked

I don't really get too excited about finding American Modern any more, unless it is a remarkable piece. The tea cup has definitely fallen off my "remarkable" scale, but finds have been so sporadic lately I felt that thrill once again. My brother was shopping with me, and he must have thought I was nuts. Here I was in the dinnerware aisle of the thrift shop with a common Russel Wright teacup in one hand, and a silly grin on my face.

Found on March 26, 2007 in New Hope, MN.
