First off, a couple of finds from a recent trip to Germany.
Little vintage planter bought for 3 eur. A little more subdued than my usual West German pottery buys, but nevertheless looking good on the Cadovius shelves.
Now this is more like it. Large Übelacker vase for only 5 eur. Yes!
"Zyklon" vase designed by Cari Zalloni and manufactured by Steuler. Not a thrift find, but a present from my Mum. It used to decorate her bedroom back in the 60's and it's one of the very rare trinkets she's kept from that time. I have been uuh-ing and aah-ing over it each time I came to visit, hinting heavily that it would make a perfect addition to my WGP collection.
I am now happy to report that a few weeks ago I finally managed to wear her down...
A close relative to my West German ceramics. A Dutch owl money box found at the Brussels flea market for 5 eur.
The ever growing collection.Good thing the Nathan sideboard is so big. There's still plenty of room for more thrift finds. Yay!
Very nice finds. I have a WGP vase from my mom too (dark brown Ruscha 313 that she bought in the late 70s) that I remember always kicking around our house somewhere as I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteOh lucky you, Ruscha 313! Definitely on my WGP wish list :-)

ReplyDeletefantastic finds! that red is intense... adding a lot of energy to the room.. well done:)
ReplyDeleteThanks David John ! It's the room I work on the most, but ever since I moved the computer, it's also the one I spend the least time in. I think I need to install a TV to keep in there ;-)
ReplyDeletelove the owl!
