Perhaps I should mention that the items in this batch of photos have been placed on a Marshall Studio tile-top table!

At the 2010 Cincinnati Modernism Show, it was a thrill to see a handful of MODish enthusiasts at the show - folks from all over the USA!  At that time, I told folks to come back and I'll bring

Michael Pratt uses one of my favorite items as his Avatar.  I bought mine about 12 years ago, the last item I bought using one of the old-fashioned ways.   We'd subscribe to mag

OK, I was lurking and prowling in the modish archives and found a nice post describing Haeger's orange peel glaze.  I'd say the object in gallery pic doesn't  conform to the traditio

Following my Fantoni entry of last week, here is another tile of the series.  Apart from tile as format and various caveman motifs, there are a figures, vases and shelf sitters format-wis

Had a chance to take some more photos, so I have some new postings for the group's enjoyment and edification.

Mike Pratt also has a nice article in the library on concerning American ceramist Joseph Vontury.  There, Mike shows examples of his typical ware.

While I'm covering the orange peel glaze, here are two figural hanging baskets by Haeger in this mod pop glaze.   Here, they let a little bisque show thru to highlight features of the cri

Here is a mod pop line designed by Alrun Osterberg for Haeger from the 1970s.  In the catalogs, it's referred to as Decorated (not a very sophisticated name) blue, orange or green - a tri

Two more 'sister' glazes designed by Alrun Osterberg for Haeger - Seminole orange and Navajo blue.

I forgot to add this when I did HHK items previously.  The mark is so hard to see, I almost left it behind.  There's enough of the ink-mark on his feet to be convincing.   

Here is another 1970's glaze designed for Haeger by their German-born glaze chemist and designer Alrun Osterberg.

I thought folks would enjoy seeing some more of the not-oft-seen Roseville Raymor Modern Artware pieces, designed by our hero, Ben Seibel.

Finally, a pair of floor vases.

Tile by Sascha Brastoff depicting a hippie.

Six inch tile in large handmade frame, from the estate of Sascha Brastoff signed on the back - check out the label from his home s

Last week, our esteemed member modlectic tantalized us with his recent find of a Metlox Corinthian horse (be still my covetous heart).

More Metlox Tropicana in the fish motif.

The vase seems to be an uncommon form - it's about 10.5 inches tall.

To my experience, the salt and pepper set is also hard to find.  T

More objects from that same 1957 Brayton Laguna catalog, here exhibiting the African line. 

The African woman on the right of the 1st pic is a box - her head comes off and you can sta

As shown in their 1957 catalog, some cute little kitties.  Late nite posting, my little Gidget is meowing that I should come to bed.

I fear I've been a little US-centric in my previous posts so I thought I'd share some European faves from my collection, starting with this'n!

Here is a small covered box designed and signe

This has long been a favorite - it took a while, but I ascertained that this figure was designed by Hans Stangl (do not confuse with Martin Stangl) for Rosenthal.  I know of at least 3 di

OK, it's my last trip to Europe for a while.

And here we have beauty and the beast to be sure.

I call this Alien Madonna - it certainly is an alien figure, but it seems th

Here are the #22 1 quart casserole, and # 18 again.  Terra Cotta alos gets the white spatterware treatment.

Also, there's a RMS coffee mug with this glaze treatment.  

As promised, here is one of my purchases from the 2011 Cincinnati Modernism show.

Found as early as the 1967 Haeger catalogs, this is a very Mod/Pop triple budvase, shape #4050.  This
