Russel Wright’s American Modern dinnerware line is the best-selling ceramic service of all time. But not every pattern Wright designed was so successful. Explore the hits and misses of this superstar designer as well as patterns by a few of his famous contemporaries: Eva Zeisel, Ben Seibel, and Charles Murphy. Test your knowledge and guess which designs were successful and which ones may have been ahead of their time. This dinnerware is on loan from the world-class decorative art collection of Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, Denver, which features examples from every major design movement from 1860 to 1990.
