Jere Osgood book ends. The only other piece I've had by him was one of his amazing clocks.

These bookends were sold through America House. America House was a retail sales outlet for craft located in New York City, operated by the American Craftsmen’s Council. They were in opertaion in various forms from 1940 to 1971. The catalogs are great. They sold some major work by the Natzlers, Paul Evans, Soleri, and many lesser known artists.

Also, I paid a lot more than that. Craftlation is real.

Ed Thompson was in the San Diego Allied Craftsmen and Potter's Guild. I've known of his work for a long time but have started to appreciate it a lot more recently. He knew his way around a wheel, that's for sure. His surface design is pretty great too.
