Another Serving Suggestion

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi
Red anyone? An impossibly intricate copper fishnet design, likely Salviati or Fratelli Toso. Four goblets and a gorgeously glam carafe to decant your finest wine.

How Swede it Is

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi

A bright light is illuminating our store window at this very moment. 50" of stacked yellow ceramic sections make up this curvaceous stunner. Sure to add a pop of color to the lucky home that inherits this oh-so-sixties Swedish floor lamp.

Cover Story

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi
What a great start to the New Year! We've made the cover of the January 2013 issue of one our most consistent supporters: Real Simple Magazine. Our vintage Rosenthal porcelain piece is put to doubly good use as both a vase and as a bookend. Designed by Bjørn Wiinblad in the 60s, this vase features both shine and a matte floral patterned neck. Still available, by the way, if you'd like to have a published piece for your very own!

Coral Relief

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi
A ceramic deep-sea moment for the coral and periwinkle enthusiast. 
I think it's particularly clever of the Italians to utilize the Lava-Glaze technique to so closely replicate the look and feel of genuine coral.
Made in Italy, circa 1950s. 
Measures 12" across and 5" high
