Did you know they still made stuff with Melmac? Neither did we, until friends got us a set of mixing bowls from Williams-Sonoma made of the stuff as a wedding gift. The scariest thing to me: there was a line of Melmac dinnerware designed by Raymond Loewy called Lucent.

It’s a reference to a former employer of mine, Lucent Technologies. You’ll have to trust me when I say it was a scary place to work. :-)

I have a full set of pink and white melamine Morning Song dinnerware by Raymond Loewy for Lucent. Any idea where I may purchase an appraisal?
Thanks,
Sharri

Why is Lucent scary?!? It was one of the best designed high-end brands of Melmac. It was called Lucent because it was the first translucent Melmac - you could not see through it (transparent), but light shown thru it (translucent.) It’s highly sought after by collectors.
