My favourites this week though are the Czech pieces because of their very eccentric shapes and fantastic textures. I think they are imports from the 1950's - but I haven't ever been able to find out anything about them.
 |
| Royal Copenhagen Large Bottle/Vases |
 |
| Great set of harlequin ramekins. |
 |
| Above and below: A great group consisting of West German and Czech Vases - I love the patterns on these Czech pieces - I don't come across them very often - and the West German piece numbered 211 below is such a great shape and colour.   |
 |
| Great shaped on these Bakelite topped salt and pepper shakers |
 |
| Quite a number of lots of Royal Copenhagen annual mugs - which seem to maintain their popularity more than annual plates and plaques - I guess they are more utilitarian. |
 |
| 3 great Alumina/Copenhagen pieces |
 |
| A design I have always wanted to get, but never seen in person before - not in brilliant condition ....but depends on the price as always. |
 |
| A very groovy pair of Japanese plastic wall plaques |
 |
| Quite a nice West German Vase |
What with your interest and following other Etsy shopkeepers, I'm beginning to recognise the Danish aesthetic when I see it. And realise that it was a great influence on the potters who were part of my local childhood culture (and I thought I grew up in a conservative farming community). You must feel like a kid in a sweet shop at the moment.
ReplyDeleteSince I have been collecting I have found that some of the knowledge rubs off on friends too - and they get to know the "Danish Aesthetic", and characteristics of other makers. I used to want to own everything good I found, but thats impossible, now Im happy if I just get a photograph of special pieces :)
