Seems like it's coming along. I like the "fat lava". It's funny as a lover of old houses and antiques I more and more appreciate mid-century design...and a piece here and there makes it quirky and fun; now give me a Frank Lloyd Wright house and I'll be in heaven:) I can't get over the kitties markings.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548038213207928436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-5235672924843801562013-01-09T13:33:11.632-05:002013-01-09T13:33:11.632-05:00They are great--I'm so in love with them.They are great--I'm so in love with them.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606982492407185097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-68741640927401216552013-01-09T12:44:42.311-05:002013-01-09T12:44:42.311-05:00The cats are looking fit.The cats are looking fit.leaves on the Raney Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711219595014372212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-28665849701211240642013-01-09T11:52:48.724-05:002013-01-09T11:52:48.724-05:00Yes, Fat Lava is so descriptive!

These vases have opened up a new and fun era in art pottery and design that I never paid much attention to. It's a nice change from the 19th century New England goods that I used to find for the store.<br /><br />I love your image of the inkwell for the green vase. That is a 1960's Palshus, from Denmark.
