About Raymond Loewy:

Raymond Loewy was one of the best known industrial designers of the 20th century. Born in France, he spent most of his professional career in the United States where he influenced countless aspects of North American culture including the design of the Greyhound Bus, Exxon Logo, Coca Cola Logo, Lucky Strike package,Hot Point Refrigerator and the Shell logo. He is often cited as the "man who designed America". His talents transcended all media types!

After WW II, Rosenthals fairly traditional line of fine porcelain based on pre-war designs was stagnant, and Loewy was recruited to help update their image in the late 1940s. Loewy created a number of different modern shapes to be executed in Haviland and Rosenthal porcelain. The shapes he created are still modern by todays standards and certainly would have been avant-garde at the time. Haviland and Rosenthal manufactured and distributed the designs in both plain white, and decorated porcelain patterns.
