About Russel Wright Dinnerware

Russel Wright launched its first line of dinnerware in 1939 with the American Modern collection, produced by the Steubenville Pottery Company in Ohio. Over the next two decades, the brand impressed homeowners with its colorful and versatile offerings, selling over 250 million pieces in the process. As such, vintage Russel Wright Steubenville dishes, made from earthenware and in shades like coral, seafoam and chartreuse, date from this period.

The next significant line of Russel Wright dinnerware is the Iroquois of New York series, made of high-fired china. From here, Russel Wright experimented with materials, creating the plastic-based Melmac, and eventually furniture. Today, Russel Wright dishware is produced by Bauer Pottery of Southern California.
