This majestic set of mid-century modern pottery is a very rare example of "Purple Raisin" dinnerware by Vernon Kilns. The California company created this ultra-modern shape known as "San Marino" in the early 1950s, with sleek futuristic curves. A deep eggplant background contrasts with a rich purple drip glaze. This pattern was introduced in 1950 and was also available in brown, yellow and green. It was only produced for three years and afterwards was available only by special order, Vernon Kilns ceased operation in 1958. We have many unusual and scare dinner and serving pieces in this striking stoneware set. The luxurious color and retro design will enhance any table.
