Larger matte brown ceramic planter or cache pot with three dimensional belt + buckle detail. Napcoware Japan, attributed to the mid century. Signed on base with original sticker. Overall excellent condition. We would be surprised if it was ever used. A rare find.

Designed by Harri Koskinen for Design House Stockholm in the 1990’s, these were meant to stack + hold a light bulb on corded socket (a funky pop-art lamp!). We also love them as bookends. Thick textured glass blocks with concave frosted lightbulb form on interior. Original sticker in tact. Some scratching to glass, as shown. Light bulb not included.
Dimensions [6" tall x 3.75" wide x 1.75" deep]
Small handpainted bisque doll, made in Japan in the 1940’s-ish. The arms articulate. Signed on verso Japan. Colloquially referred to as “Frozen Charlotte,” based on a macabre poem by Elizabeth Oakes Smith, A Corpse Going to the Ball, where a girl freezes to death on a sleigh ride after refusing to dress warmly. Good vintage condition with paint loss, as shown.
Dimensions [2.75” long x 1.5” across with arms]

Dimensions [6.5” high; approx. 5.5” across from handle to spout; 2.75” diameter at opening]
Lovely blue-green celadon vase with cranes and traditional Chinese script. Overall excellent vintage condition. The characters translate (we believe) to “the immortal crane possesses boundless longevity, freely soaring across heaven and earth” along with an artist or studio mark.

Vintage, or earlier, stoneware jug with applied handle. Handpainted with vibrant cobalt, yellows, oranges and pinks. We think the handle is intended to resemble a snake. Lots of wear, as shown. Perfectly distressed, in our opinion. Signed “Spain” on base.
Dimensions [7.25” high x 7.5” across from handle to spout]
Larger genuine Purple Acorn barnacle cluster. Lovely on a mantle, shelf or curio.
