Description

Duncan & Miller #154/32 15" One Handled Plate Teakwood Brown Rare Excellent
The Laguna pattern, along with the Raymor and Patio lines, marked Duncan's introduction of  modern glassware in the 1950's. It was quite a departure from Duncan's more traditional lines.
The Leslie Pina book on Duncan features several catalog pages showing the Laguna line.  One page indicates that the pattern was styled and designed by James Rosait and stating "The ware shows Rosati's nice feeling for modern informal design and his fine perception of the niceties of line and form. Notice too, the precise clean definition of detailing--the flawless undistorted clarity of the glass--both characteristic of well practiced hand craft by the old traditional methods."
The Laguna pattern
won the 1953 Good Design Award from the Museum of Modern Art.
The Teakwood Brown color and this large plate are hard to find and probably rare.
This dish is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or other damage.
This plate is approximately 16" x 7 1/2" x 1 1/8", at inch longer than the catalog description which is not unusual since cooling and handling of hot glass like this can result in differences in shape and size.
Feel free to email me with questions or if you would like additional pictures. My listed price takes into account the condition of the item and usually is much less than book value.
I pack everything with great care. This item will need a little extra care in packing, but I will take extra care to find the right size box and packing to keep it safe.
I inspect items carefully for any damage and try to describe items clearly and accurately and provide close-up photos. Most of the items I sell are antique, used or vintage glass and as such may have minor flaws (bubbles, bits of sand, seam lines and other marks from manufacturing) that are inherent in such glass. I will gladly refund your bid price if an item differs significantly from my description.  Items must be returned within 30 days of receipt to receive a refund.  Please contact me if you have any problems with my auction item.
