Esoteric Survey

Lamp by Kurt Versen and a planter by George Finch (Kay's boy). George designed less decorative things for his mother's company. George was also a painter and created a number of dog portraits. Kay was into champion dog breeding, which led to her line of ceramic dogs (some modeled after American Kennel Club champions). When she sold her ceramics company she focused on dog breeding and shows. Richard Fisher Bell VKG MKG Jacob Jensen Viking in the OG Box

ROWAC stool designed by Robert Wagner Chemnitz. They were used in the classrooms and workshops at the Bauhaus . Oh yeah, and I finally stopped off at the dunes to take a photo. I guess the off roaders don't go out when it's 107 degrees...wimps! I've bought so many wire baskets over the years hoping it was the one shown in this photo of Good Design 1953 at the Merchandise Mart, Chicago.  I finally found the right one. Here is the designer, Helen Pope, holding it. I also picked up another Edward Durell Stone table/bench. Plus, a  Kipp Stewart & Stewart MacDougall bench for Wichendon.

Deborah Sussman-designed pin from the '84 Olympics.  I've complained about picking over the holidays in the past and this year is no exception. I came up on a weed pot score. Maurice Grossman and Robert Maxwell.
