Getting closer, but not close enough, to identify unsigned Kaj Franck-like "Willow Leaf"  

What makes you say Kaj Franck? The Venetians did a lot of thick pieces like this during the same period. I think Per Lutkin was also doing things like this at Holmegaard. It does have a nice form though, and the intention of a designed piece.

I have always only seen marked examples of these. Nuutajarvi Notsjo seem to be consistent with these even wth the smallest examples. All of the examples I have & will acquire in the future has to have the markings.

Can I buy tickets to the minimoma? Next time I am in LA, I want to visit your collection, as it truely appears to be a mini-MOMA.
