last few months of my "scores"....

Gio Ponti Vase
1970s
I got this for 56 bucks with free shipping.
Gotta love that!
Its huge too. I've only seen it one other time.

Above and below are 10 my favorite thrift store, 
internets, antique mall,
and junk store finds from the last few months....
Prices ranged from 1 dollar to $250,
with most things being way cheap,
hence the "score" aspect
of this kinda lame,
but kinda fun 
post.

Raymor Vase
1960s
Kinda Sottsass no?
I'm a sucker for the 50-70s Raymor 
distributed Italian ceramics.
I've had some great ones
over the years.

Raymor Covered Jar
1950s
Even more Sottsass....
Nice with the painted wooden top.
I've maybe seen one other one?

Danese Covered Box
Bruno Munari
1960s
This thing is even better in person.
Bruno is a genius.

Modernistic Vase
Russel Wright
1930s
Pretty rare form. 
I love his early aluminum and metal work.

Ceramic Mask
1940s?
Weird piece, 
almost like the mask is wearing a mask.
Kinda death mask looking too.

Palmistry Book
1916
Gotta love that cover.
Come on over and I will give you a reading.

Modernist Ring
1960s
Maybe Pierre Cardin?
It is beautifully made,
and the obsidian cube in the middle spins. 
This photo makes it look beat-up, but it isn't.

Pile of Gold Coins Paperweight
1950s
I'm RICH bitch!!!!

Carl Auböck Candle Holder
1960s
These are so great.
Nice unpolished patina on this one.

Let's see what I come up with in the New Year.
I'll keep you posted....
In the meantime,
watch your back in the Sal Army!!!
