Duncan & Miller- Laguna 10 1/2" Smokey Avocado The Laguna pattern, along with the Raymor and Patio lines, marked Duncan's introduction of modern glassware in the 1950's. It was quite a departure from Duncan's more traditional lines. The Leslie Pina book on Duncan features several catalog pages showing the Laguna line. One page indicates that the pattern was styled and designed by James Rosait and stating "The ware shows Rosati's nice feeling for modern informal design and his fine perception of the niceties of line and form. Notice too, the precise clean definition of detailing--the flawless undistorted clarity of the glass--both characteristic of well practiced hand craft by the old traditional methods." The Laguna pattern won the 1953 Good Design Award from the Museum of Modern Art.
