The main reason I quit collecting it is the same reason Russel Wright quit making it (and the same reason you didn't buy that set)...American Modern chips and cracks and crazes like crazy. On the other hand, my Iroquois Casual is used daily and goes through the dishwasher constantly and still looks brand new. Not a chip or crazed spot anywhere.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-87092774527764225822012-07-23T11:59:28.109-05:002012-07-23T11:59:28.109-05:00I will have to check Dorothy Thorpe out now. I lo...I will have to check Dorothy Thorpe out now. I love when I find new (old) mid century designer to learn about and then look for pieces hidden in the mix, so to speak! I recently got a cute chip 'n dip set myself, don't think it's anything fancy, but it was cheap and I like it and have used it several times already!RetroSandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03148972559036739050noreply@blogger.com
