Vintage Iroquois Impromptu Sugar Bowl – Ben Seibel MCM China

A stellar example of Mid-Century Modern functional art. This lidded sugar bowl (or small condiment server) was designed by Ben Seibel for the Iroquois Impromptu line. It features the delicate Bridal White pattern—soft blue floral sprays on a clean, white vitrified china body.  True to Seibel's iconic style, the piece features a unique, sculptural bridge handle on the lid and a low-profile, squat silhouette that was revolutionary for American dinnerware in the mid-20th century. Iroquois Impromptu was marketed as fine china you can actually use, known for its durability and flameproof qualities.  Thanks for looking, be well!
