My coworker and his wife gave me this awesome Holt Howard Pixie in a Sleigh for Christmas. What a nice gift! It's dated 1959.

The big Starry-Eyed Santa planter candlestick holder is a recent addition to my Holt Howard collection.

Here is a large Stetson holiday serving bowl that I found recently. It has a triangular shape and measures a whopping 12.75" x 8" x 2.5!

We keep this rare, complete set of Franciscan Starburst canisters on our kitchen counter. They hold coffee, tea, matchbooks and store coupons. They are so useful and make a big pottery statement.

Another Charles Murphy masterwork–Red Wing Chromoline bowls, vases and candlestick holders with their distinctive bands of blended colors and stripes.

Quick, what are they? If you answered Red Wing's Futura beverage server and water pitcher by Charles Murphy, you're right!

Belle Kogan had a long career in product design and worked on a consulting basis with Red Wing Potteries. Her Fancy Free Desert dinnerware design is a distinctive mid-century icon.

Futura Monmartre dinnerware makes me happy. Their mid-century shapes are unusual, but perfectly balanced. Pick one up and you will see how well it fits in your hand.

Palo Dura is one of several abstract patterns that was available on Eva's Tomorrow's Classic dinnerware.

A school of Mary Wright's Bauer Country Gardens pitchers swimming in a sea of 1950's barkcloth.

Red Wing Decorator vases from the wild imagination of Charles Murphy. Fantasy, indeed!

Here is my full office space. Sorry that I could not attach all of the photos in one file.

I used this Sascha Brastoff mid-century Christmas dinnerware for a holiday party that I had last Saturday afternoon. Sascha's gold lines and dots create a perfect minimalist Christmas tree image.

I have 8 place settings of this Sascha Brastoff Christmas dinnerware with plates, cups, saucers and mugs. I would love to find more of it.

I only have this single salad plate, but can you imagine owning an entire set of this amazing art deco Steubenville dinnerware?

This is a Catalina Island chop plate that has been painted in glaze and then fired onto the background glaze.

Here is yet another Catalina Island Pottery plate manufacturing technique, with the design actually molded into the chop plate.

This plaque is marked on the back HIGH FIRED HAND PAINTED CERAMIC TILES by harris g. strong. The tile number is 43 and the group was 4. The outer edges of the frame measure 10.75-inches square.

Here are Eva's beautiful Century nesting bowls from a different perspective.

Here is more of my Holt Howard Christmas figures using Russel Wright's Knowles Esquire as a playground.

This is my second dining room built-in hutch filled with more designs by Eva Zeisel.

No, the Christmas tree cookie jar is not Wright or Zeisel, but I love grouping it with these loftier items.

This amazing Red Wing planter measures only 6.5-inches high. It is only marked with a number 1341--it has no Red Wing identification.
