Description: Mid-Century ModernIroquoisFine Porcelain China IMPROMPTUBridal White Ben Seibel, American(1918-1967) Estate Find This is a superb Iroquois fine porcelain china set of six cup and saucers in the Impromptu Bridal White pattern designed by Ben Seibel. This pattern was produced by Iroquois from 1956 to 1969 and is now discontinued. The cups are 2 7/8" and the saucers are 4". Each of the six sets are in excellent, almost like-new condition, with minimal knife marks, no chips, cracks, breaks or repairs. Ben Seibel, born in Newark, New Jersey in 1918, grew up in Manhattan, where his mother started a shop in Greenwich Village selling her own jewelry and fashion designs. Seibel began pursuing a degree in architecture at Columbia University after studying painting under Louis Schanker and sculpture under Leo Amino. After putting his education on hold for a three-and-a-half year term of service in the Air Force, Seibel returned to New York City in 1945, enrolling at Pratt Institute with a concentration in industrial design. He never completed his degree, instead starting a studio that he maintained alongside a small staff until his death in 1985 at the age of 67. Seibel is best known for his tableware designs, drawing influences from his study of sculpture and travels in Japan. His work in ceramics was prolific and wide-ranging in style, reaching prominence in the 1950s with his Informal and Impromptu lines for Iroquois China.
