Leah Qumaluk Inuit Print Woman With Bird Povungnituk

Made with porcupine quills and birchbark, a 3 1/2&#34; wide box with floral design.  

Porcupine quill work is the ultimate example of true Aboriginal craftsmanship, and has become rare to find today. The natural resources needed to create a porcupine quill box are birch bark, quills, sweetgrass and traditional knowledge. There are 2 areas with broken quill, but it is very common for these boxes as they are light and fragile.

White and Gold Stripes and an organic shape make this vintage Mid Century Modern Alfredo Barbini Murano glass bowl a stand out! 6&#34; wide by 2&#34; high. No chips or cracks.

As Is Westclox MCM Boomerang Clock Model 707 Mid Century Modern Atomic 

This set has some flaws but is so old and beautiful, it deserves a place on your shelf! With the Victorian kite mark on the back dating it to 1883. Some yellow staining on cup and saucer, and a chip on the plate. I love it so much but have to admit I never ended up making tea in it myself. But for a time, it allowed me to mentally time travel to the 1800s so I do love it for that reason.

Kioto by Brownhill&#39;s is a popular antique Aesthetic Movement transferware pattern from the Brownhills Pottery Company (Staffordshire, England), featuring intricate designs of birds (cranes/egrets), flora, and geometric borders. Produced starting around 1883, and is sought after by collectors for its detailed, often Japan-inspired look.

I thought at first this was a beaver, but maybe it&#39;s an otter? The tail is pointy after all! In any case it&#39;s a very cool critter. The wood is possibly Rosewood and has a nice grain, and the eye is brass or a brass toned metal. 12 3/4&#34; long. A fun piece of decor, even if you don&#39;t get letters!

5&#34; bowl from Krenit. A gloss red/prange on the inside, and matte back on the outside. The matte black tends to attract fingerprints so if you are planning to commit crimes or are already an outlaw, pass on this lot. But if you love mid century modern decor, then you&#39;ll want to be bidding on this hard to find bowl! Ruler not included. 

The Krenit bowl, a Danish design icon by Herbert Krenchel, debuted in 1953, winning a gold medal at the Milan Triennale, and remains famous for its minimalist steel form, matte black exterior, and vibrant glossy enameled interior, blending function with aesthetics as a mid-century modern classic for everyday use. Originally produced by Torben Ørskov & Co. and reissued by Normann Copenhagen, it exemplifies Scandinavian design and is featured in museum collections worldwide.

Lots of great graphics and ads, for classics like Dubonnet, Coronet Brandy, Architectural Forum, Stafford Fabrics, and more.

If I were a far more domestic person I would be keeping this cookie press and starting my own artisanal botanic themed cookie shop because it is JUST. THAT. GOOD. I bought it with good intentions, thinking I would suddenly morph into a cookie baking queen, but instead... um... well... here we are. I do not know who the ceramic artist was that made it, but hats off to them. It&#39;s great. Maybe it could make you great. Your shortbread journey will be epic if you buy this!
