Russel Wright American Modern Shaker MCM Steubenville Blue Vintage RARE

Description

Up for auction is a salt (or pepper) American Modern shaker in what I believe is "Steubenville Blue". Steubenville Blue is the rarest of the eleven American Modern colors. Please see the photos to judge the color for yourself. This is the only piece of what I believe to be Steubenville Blue that I've ever handled. In the last photo (before the measurement photos), I photographed the American Modern shaker next to an Iroquois "Ice Blue" shaker, for comparison. To be clear, the Iroquois shaker is not included in this auction :)
The shaker does have some crazing (see pics). This is common with this line - the silver lining/benefit of this is that it helps attest to the piece's age (as I know that Oneida reproduced this line somewhat recently). Outside of the crazing, this piece is in excellent condition.
The shaker measures approximately 2 1/8" tall by 2 1/8" wide - see photos for confirmation of the measurements. It weighs 2.65 oz. Apparently these are some of the ways that the originals can be distinguished from the Oneida re-issues, as the Oneida reissues are notably larger and heavier than the originals. The Art Institute of Chicago and the Met Museum both list the Russel Wright shakers in their collections as measuring 2 1/8" by 2 1/8".
