The Bauer Pottery® collection has expanded with the addition of the American Modern™ line designed by Russel Wright®. The relationship between Bauer Pottery and Russel Wright® goes back over 60 years and we're both excited about the rekindling the old flame.

"My father's original designs for Bauer are among the most highly prized of his productive career," says Annie Wright, Russel's daughter and President of Russel Wright® Studios. "Bauer's continued dedication, reputation and adherence to those original principles that brought Russel and Bauer together in 1946 is refreshingly still existent today at Bauer. We look forward to continuing this historic relationship with the new Russel Wright® American Modern™ dinnerware by Bauer."

"Bauer's continued emphasis is on items originally manufactured in the 1930s and 40s," explains Janek Boniecki, President of Bauer Pottery Company of Los Angeles®. "The Russel Wright® American Modern™ line is the largest selling dinnerware pattern of this period, reinforcing our belief in the iconic ceramic dinnerware designs of that special period."

With over 250 million pieces sold, American Modern™ is this country's original entry in modern style of dinnerware. It was created by the influential American industrial designer and artist Russel Wright in 1937. Wright is credited with being the one most responsible for the American shift in taste toward modern design in the mid 20 th century, and American Modern™ was his most bold statement in that effort.

The initial line consists of fourteen of the original most popular and useful pieces including dishes, bowls, serving platters, serving bowls, tea set and a unique new coffee mug, all in bold mix-and-match colors carefully chosen by Russel Wright for their food presentation drama and bold modern flair. Chartreuse, coral, sea foam, granite and white have been carefully matched to original colors enabling the durable new Bauer American Modern to be paired with original, rarer pieces for perfect staging and practicality in any modern setting.
