It is my birthday tomorrow and I already got this dog plate (from Anthropologie) as a gift. This series of plates makes me very happy.  The wooden figures are gifts from earlier this year. They are so lovely.

I am selling this.

A description: A small group of Czechoslovakian designers were really inspired by cubism at the time of Braque and Picasso and designed buildings, furniture, ceramics and every sort of thing in triangular cubist shapes. This influence extended to the mass produced pottery factories which produced vases like this one, ca 1920 – 1939, (see a similar shape by Vlastistov Hofman here http://www.modernista.cz/english/cc005.html). These sort of shapes are very hard to find. The pottery is from a mold and the over painting was brushed on by a trained painter.

This book was illustrated by Clement Hurd who illustrated Goodnight Moon for Margaret Brown. The author is his wife Edith Thatcher Hurd.

It looks like this inside.

Very airy and beautiful.
