Theme Formal marked the first time that Russel Wright worked in porcelain. Unfortunately, Theme Formal, along with its Theme Informal counterpart, were Russel Wright's last dinnerware designs.

Russel Wright designed this bulb bowl for Bauer in the mid-1940s. It was item number 19. This example has a wonderfully, drippy Jonquil Yellow exterior glaze and a Bronze interior glaze.

This spun aluminum pitcher, designed and manufacturered by Russel Wright in the 1930s, was also produced in plantene  (a satin finish without the spun grooves) or a gold-toned finish.
