I love mid-century modern dinnerware. I will never eat from half of these plates, but look upon them for their sheer artistic value. Ben Seibel isn't quite as sought after as his contemporary Russel Wright, but his design aesthetic is still great IMO. I stopped by a local resale shop on a whim and was rewarded with 40 pieces, plus pitcher, of Ben's Informal Accent designed for Iroquois probably meant to coordinate with the Harvest Time pattern. Whole lot for less than $50. A STEAL. Independent shops are great because you can negotiate with the owner. I've got several more pieces to collect, but I'm halfway there already.
