JHQ Peppermill

I found this in my local goodwill. I recognized it immediately, and grabbed it. It's a Jens Quistgaard designed peppermill for dansk. I believe this is an early design. It is manufactured from 1 peace of solid teak., and the grain on the bottom and top of the mill match. I didn't understand why these mills were so collectable. Now I do. They are very high quality and the design is amazing.

Plycraft Ottoman

I found a plycraft ottoman that matches my plycraft chair at the goodwill outlet. The base is not exactly the same, but for $1 who cares.

Richard Claude Ziemann Etching "Leaving the Grove" 10/50 1966

I reciently became interested in etchings, after seeing an artists work during a local open studio tour. I couldn't afford one from the artist, but I have been looking in goodwill. This large etching was sitting in the window of one on the shops I frequent. I picked it up and I could tell it was a quality frame. It was titled, dated, signed, and was 16/50. I learned that the most desired prints are the fearlier ones, so that was a good sign. The frame had a sticker indicating it was framed in Lower Manhattan (another good sign).  I decided to purchase it for $9.99.

When I got home I did some research

Richard Claude Ziemann has works in the National Collection of Fine Arts, Smithsonian Institution; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC; The Library of Congress, D.C.; Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, Yale University Art Gallery.

Studio Pottery Lamp Signed Brown

It is very hard to do a google search for a potter who signs "brown". I can tell this is a great piece of pottery.

It's in the danish modern style. Found in goodwill for $3.99.

New Couch

My couch broke about a month and 1/2 ago. I have been hunting for one since. I found this couch free on craigslist. I had to drive about an hour to get it, but it was well worth it. It has a Hamilton Standard property tag on it, so I guess it was originally in their offices. Manufactured by the Gunlocke company. The wooden arms are solid walnut.
