Stratoware was a line of dinnerware created by Eva Zeisel 

for Sears during 1941-1942. It is a limited line and very

difficult to find, although a lot of the covered casseroles 

seem to show up.

Here are a couple of ads from vintage Sears catalogs

showing some of the pieces in the line.

Seamist prototype charger from the Fiestaware2000 line. This test piece where the verge is more pronounced than on the final design for this piece. Fiestware2000 was never glazed in Seamist, so it's a one of a kind item.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed your visit.
