These designs are outstanding! This information is new to me and it's a thrill to see this photo. On first look, I was drawn to Aquarium and Music the most but after more consideration, I admire Time and Antenna equally if not more. Antenna is unexpected and makes me smile. Time is truly inspired. Is much known about "Lucha"?

Wow!

I love, love, love the patterns. I've seen plain Flintridge, but never the patterned versions. Does anyone have this patterned dinnerware, or have you ever seen it out in the wild?

Scott, I've never seen it in the wild, but check out this link and notice who donated the plate.

Brooklyn Museum Conversation

I interned at the Brooklyn Museum in the Decorative Arts department a couple years ago and remember this gift.  I believe the donor bought it from the estate of a wealthy couple who lived in Minnesota and had a modernist house, their own plane, etc.  I thought it was a very cool pattern myself, although the shapes are not that exciting.

Nice!

 I really like these patterns, too.  I also like the wording of the ad, especially the use of the word "modern"--as a noun!

I especially like Time and Antenna. Time looks a like it has a bit of a space theme. While Antenna is an homage to industrial modernism like i have never seen on any dinnerware. Does anyone know anything about Lucha? I did a quick google search and did not find anything more than generic listings.
