Created by famous designer Russell Wright. These gorgeous pieces were manufactured in New York by Iroquois. The Casual line is a successor of his American Modern collection. Before all else, these were crafted for their immense durability. At the launch of the collection in 1950, the manufacturer offered a money-back guarantee in the case of needless chipping. Russell Wright went from department store to department store, showcasing his latest work by flipping a bin of dishware upside down over the counter, proving their strength. The successful collection remained in production for nearly 20 years and was discontinued in 1967.

The set includes one cup and one saucer, both featuring a simple and elegant design. The cup has tapered round sides and a rounded handle, while the saucer has a slight lip to keep the cup in place.
