• Nils Kähler Chamotte Herringbone Vase

  One of Kähler's most recognizable mid-century forms, this tall stoneware vase pairs a textured herringbone body with a vivid cobalt-blue glaze. The unglazed neck and shoulder provide a beautiful contrast, showcasing the natural character of the clay and the workshop's celebrated approach to texture

• Erik Lundgren Rug for Vävaregården Eringsboda, Sweden 1970s

  Designed by Erik Lundberg for Vävaregården in Eringsboda, Sweden, this vintage wool Rollakan rug is one of the workshop's most graphic and recognizable designs. Named "Korall Brun" (Brown Coral), you can see how nature makes its way into the pattern of the rug, evoking a feeling rather than a litera

• Funny & Rare Andújar Folk Art Vase, Spain 19th C.

  What a find! This extraordinary 19th-century ceramic vase was made in Spain's Andalusian province of Jaén, one of the country's oldest and most celebrated pottery centers. Collectors know these exuberant vessels as "grotesque jars" ( botes grotescos ), named for their richly layered ornament where n

• Just Andersen Disko Vase - Design no. D 2166

  Totally rad, and impossible not to love, this fantastic fish vase can be enjoyed as a sculpture on its own or filled with flowers - either way it will most likely make you smile. Just Andersen created a series of fish sculptures in the 1930s, and they have a wonderfully wild, animated quality. This

• Lidded Dish, from the "Emilia" series by Raija Uosikkinen

  Cat ladies unite! This is a charming example from Arabia Finland’s Emilia Series, designed by Raija Uosikkinen, one of the factory’s most talented yet overlooked designers. These are the women I love to uncover. Her wonderfully detailed black-and-white illustration depicts a stylish woman in a flowe

• Gunnel Nyman Pendant with Silk Shade, Finland 1940s

  I adore this design, and this rare version of Gunnel Nyman's iconic work is fitted with a pleated silk shade, newly fabricated in Helsinki on the original metal form. The effect is wonderfully taupey and soft, the shade color is quite similar to "Drop Cloth" by Farrow & Ball - not too grey, not too

• 40-012 Table Lamp by Lisa Johansson-Pape, Finland 1960s

  She's so cool. This is one of Lisa Johansson-Pape's later designs, made in the 1960s once steel became available again after wartime rationing eased. It's a perfect example of how she stayed at the cutting edge of design, here using an automotive-style lacquered finish paired with an acrylic shade,

• Pair of Brass Wall Lights with Hand-Painted Glass Shades

  Love, love, love these enchanting wall lamps, attributed to Gunnel Nyman in the late 1940s. Small in scale but wonderfully expressive on the wall, each has a curved brass arm supporting an opaline glass shade with delicate horizontal bands. I really appreciate the way the geometry of the shade plays

• Lisa Johansson-Pape No. 1323 Pendant of White Opaline Glass

  A particularly fine example of Lisa Johansson-Pape’s Model 1323, extra rare as it is made from the most beautiful white glass, as opposed to the more common metal finishes. The lamp retains an original white plastic canopy, and comes with impeccable provenance having been acquired directly from Pape

• Lisa Johansson-Pape “Drop” Pendant, Finland 1946 (on HOLD until Oct 22)

  Such a beautiful early version, The Drop was designed in 1942 during the war years when materials were scarce and Johansson-Pape was just beginning her work with Stockmann-Orno. The pendant was exhibited in 1946, when production of Orno’s glass components at the Karhula glass factory resumed - it wa

• Anna-Lisa Thomson 282 Vase, Sweden 1942

  A simple, almost ancient white form is given a dose of drama by two wonderful serpentine handles in deep green glaze. This is an iconic vase, and a great example of her early-1940s work - a bit deco yet restrained, with just enough weird to make it special. I love all the drips around the opening, a

• Swedish Petite Pine Table Lamp, 1970s

  A sweet little pine table lamp, topped with a gathered, mushroom-shaped shade in natural linen fabric. The base is lathe-turned solid pine with a lovely figured grain and warm lacquered finish. Unsigned, but likely came from a small Swedish workshop circa 1965-1975. I find these little Swedish piece
