Russel Wright "Oceana" Serving Bowl
About the Item
Russel Wright "Oceana" sculptural serving bowl circa 1938 produced by Klise Woodworking Company, Grand Rapids, MI. Hazelwood in the form of deep-sea fauna.
This particular one had a split in the middle and was repaired, thus the 50% off sale.
The Oceana line had begun in 1935 when Wright designed a series of organic-form bowls, trays, and other objects in shapes taken from marine motifs like shells and seaweed, for Klise Wood Working Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Made from a variety of solid American woods, these decorative and tableware accessories were carefully designed for the constraints of machine production but with a distinct hand carved appearance.
