Materials: Porcelain

Brand / Maker: designed by Gerald Gulotta, Porzellanfabrik Arzberg, Germany

Era: 1970s

Graphic, stackable and of obviously high quality, the Chromatics dinnerware pattern is one of the most stunning modern dinnerware patterns to come out of the late mid-century period. Introduced in 1970 by Block China, it consisted of boldly-colored sculptural pieces in porcelain that were designed to stack and fit together with their concave and convex edges. The pattern came in several complementary color combinations (Brown/Gold, Black/Beige, Blue/Green, and especially rare Black/White).

Block Chromatics was designed by Gerald Gulotta, an American industrial designer and educator who, among other accomplishments, studied under modern master Eva Zeisel at Pratt and eventually took over teaching her ceramics class when she retired.
