Paul McCobb Contempri Eclipse
Paul McCobb Contempri Eclipse: Water and milk pitchers, covered casserole, gravy, and tiny tiny platter. Underrated design!!

I agree-underrated!
I agree that the design of these wonderful pieces is underrated. I'm not surprised to see that at least 1 museum has added the line to its collection (along with very pricey late 1950's Danish silver):

Thanks for the link
That's wonderful to know that the line is in a museum!! I heard that Schreckengost's stuff was. I'm a huge fan of Paul McCobb's body of work and that makes me happy. In fact, I keep my entire dinnerware collection stuffed into 2 big McCobb credenzas/cabinets.
Museum Credit
I believe that we can thank Charles Venable, the former curator for the Dallas Museum of Art and author of "China and Glass in American, 1880-1980: From Table Top to TV Tray," for adding the McCobb dinnerware to their permanent collection. Charles has a great eye for unsung heroes in the pottery and dinnerware world.
