There's always more to love when it comes to dinnerware designed by Ben Seibel. One of those patterns is Lazy Daisy, from Iroquois China Co. of Syracuse, New York. The Iroquois "Informal" line is just that, both in shape and decor.
Lazy Daisy was one of the first patterns made in this funky, 1950s dinnerware.
The others are Harvest time (earth colors with large leaves), Blue Diamonds, Vision and Rosemary. Both the motifs and shapes are distinctive, once you develop an eye for them, and so retro...
Sculptural, sassy, and still available in the secondary marketplace, if you aspire to have enough 50s wares to set a table for 4, 6 or 8.
Or, use them as accents to mix and match with other contemporary wares.

I have a partial set of these & they are so lovely. The creamy background goes with anything. Keep up the great posts about food & tableware.
Fantastic! How much fun it must be to use it, like wearing your sterling!
It is SO GREAT to find this site. I feel like MUCH LESS of a freak. I have a serious dish collecting habit. About twelve sets in various stages of completion. And I still find myself finding china at flea markets and malls and wanting to buy more still. My name is Sheila and I am a dish-a-holic!
I have an Iriquois dish marked “proof” that kinda looks like Lazy Daisy but with pink flowers. Do you know anything about this?
Hello Susan!
I can only speculate, but it may be that your “proof” piece was part of an early firing to test glaze or other factors before larger production runs.
I hope you will enjoy this pattern, regardless!
