Orian
Sometimes misspelled “Orion,″ this line from 1935 is not a typical art deco motif. The delicate, sinuous handles are more related to art nouveau. The vivid colors include blue, yellow, green, red, peach, and pink with softer accents, and the interiors are frequently a stark contrast: mint with raspberry or turquoise with brown. Pieces can have raised or impressed marks, foil labels, or be unmarked.
