Esoteric Survey

Noguchi Akari lamp, wall sculpture, and... Smalls  John Caruthers is one of those hard to find California ceramicists I'm always looking for. It's so hard to find so I'm always super happy to get another piece. I'm also happy when I get to bring home San Diego pieces. A nesting table set by Japanese company Yamaguchi All three have this label, which would make it seem like they're Scandinavian. I have the feeling that this label is covering up a Japan stamp. Scandinavian Authentic Furniture missed this one. Nice try. Some catalog photos from Yamaguchi.

  Isamu Kenmochi Kathuo Mathumura for Yamaguchi. At least that is what the label says. The designer is really  Katsuo Matsumura. Obviously a letter was switched in translation. I had a set of tables before with the same incorrect label.  Eames ESU, another second series.
