Black Chutney

Temptation comes out of the blue sometimes. I recently received an email from a woman whose mother is downsizing and would like to sell 74 pieces of Russel Wright American Modern in black chutney, which is considered a high end color in the AM line, along with cedar and seafoam.

I have to tell you that I thought long and hard about buying it for myself, but I have 55 pieces of Iroquois Casual listed on Craigslist as we speak, simply because I don't have room to store it, so I finally had to admit to myself that buying 74 more pieces wasn't a good idea, no matter how enticing the offer. (Trust me, the price she's asking is more than fair!)

The owner bought the set in 1953, when she was a newlywed. According to a daughter, it wasn't their everyday china, so it's in good condition.

If you're interested in buying it for yourself, you can contact Marla at azmama@cox.net. (You do realize that I gave you that email address grudgingly, don't you? The lug bowls alone are still calling my name.)
