In my travels I have come across many beautiful things. A quick trip to e-bay or google will usually solve the mystery as to who made it and when. But as of recent, I have come up short on two. The first, a phenomenal brass coffee carafe with a teak lid and handle. It is stamped on the bottom with a W and a T in a circle and says Made Italy. Normally I would just be thrilled with finding such a cool piece of mid century serving ware, but some guy in line behind me looked at the mark and told me he thought it might be really valuable. So now I have to know!
The other piece is just adorable. It is a mid century Gustavsberg style ceramic horse. Looks like a cross between a Stig Lindberg and a Lisa Larson piece. And the most curious bit? The riders head is on backwards! His legs and body are facing one way and his face the other! Is it valuable? Maybe? A knock off? Quite possibly? Vintage? I think so... I am counting on the ebay mid century discussion board for some clues.
In the meantime, they are beautiful pieces that I am enjoying having around the house.
