01

Artifact Overview

In 1940, industrial designers Russel and Mary Wright developed a housewares merchandising program called "American-Way," which sought to bring craft and industry together. Craftsmen, artists, designers, and manufacturers -- such as Everlast Metal Products Corporation who specialized in aluminum giftware -- contributed designs and products to the project. Mary Wright collaborated with Everlast to create the "Spring Flowers" design seen in this piece, made for American-Way.
