Did You Know?

Green Wheat, created by Paris-trained American industrial designer Gale Turnbull, became one of the most popular patterns produced by Leigh Potters.

Description

Leigh Potters produced sophisticated yet inexpensive tableware for the American consumer from the mid-1920s until 1931.
A cream earthenware cup and saucer feature squared forms decorated with green wheat motifs. The cup's boxy body rises from a stepped base, joined by a handle with a notched, geometric outer edge. Four green stalks of varying heights decorate the side. Thin dark lines trace the rims and handle. The matching square saucer has notched corners and a similar wheat design, mirroring the cup's structured silhouette and clean aesthetic.
