Auction Watch 34

Again it looks like a bit of a quiet week with auctions for me, as there is'nt a great deal Im desperate to buy and still hardly any Danish Pottery -  Im stating to get withdrawal! ....but as always there are heaps of interesting vintage and retro items...even if not buying.

Noritake 1970s dinner set - Green and Chocolate brown - certainly a colour combination
to forget - but this design is saved by the rather lovely pattern called "Campobello"

A lovely English Bakelite picnic set - all original in original basket
A Lisa Larson Fox - I've never seen on of these in real life - It's such a lovely thing -
Although usually very expensive

Im seeing a large number of these VERY large West German pieces
lately - strange how things tend to come in waves.
What appears to be a Bitossi Lamp - the colour is actually much
better in real life - more of a yellow ochre colour

The ubiquitous Beth Breyen Royal Copenhagen Salt Box
I actually use one of these as a salt box and they are great!

An early 20th century Nippon vase - I love the shape of this
piece, although Ive seen better designs.

These old fans have such character, the large blades really suit

  1. I do love those ornate formalised patterns on 1970s dinnerware, but yes, the colour combinations often go against them. The salt box! Lately I have been thinking that I would quite like a salt box - something like this one would certainly be nice.

    1. You should get one!..I use flaked sea salt as it is much more subtle and "softer" in flavour than the fine grained stuff - and these boxes are perfect for storing it.

  2. The little fox is so very sweet. He looks like he would fit in the palm of your hand.
