Is It Ben?
In my opinion, the items listed below are still "up for grabs" regarding the designer. Some say these designs are Ben's, and others say they are not.

This set is interesting. The pattern used is the Country-Time pattern; however, the items themselves appear in neither of the Country-Time brochures I have. Are any of these items a Ben Seibel design? | |

Lotus, ca.1952 On page 231 of Understanding Roseville Pottery by Mark Bassett, there is a photograph of Ben holding a drawing of the Lotus line. The back of the photograph is labeled, "Left: Ben Seibel (Designer)..." Bassett writes, "While working with the New York design firm Smith and Scheer, Ben Seibel designed Lotus and perhaps a few previous Roseville's lines. Neither the recent Chinese Modern lines nor Florane exhibited Frank Ferrell's highly recognizable style." |
