The Last Thing That You Acquired #32  

A Lane coffee table from 1958...
A Lane coffee table from 1958 for $10 at a Goodwill, and two plaid chairs for $1 each from a church bazaar.
Lots more but no pictures yet.

Looks great 6 pints!
This morning I picked up a piece of pottery (from my fav resale store), and I am unable to tell whether it is trash or not....can't read the label.
Help!,
Aunt Mark

The front.
The reason that I inquire, was that I have a friend in the hospital (temporary), and I was going to drop the pottery off at the florist to be planted with a lovely orchid, etc, to be delivered. But if it's a piece of dog shit...I won't.
Love,
Aunt Mark
edit...5 and a half inches all directions. Hi.

Mark, That's a Bjorn...
Mark, That's a Bjorn Wiinblad design for Nymolle. Nothing spectacular, but certainly not junk

I would have the florist
put the orchid in a plastic liner container so as not to crud up that lovely little thing you've got there, Aunt Mark. Just a suggestion.

In the nick of time...
Many thanks jesgord. I will drop it off at the florist immediately.
Best,
Aunt Mark

Thanks *spanky*.
I'll tell the cute flower boy.
Best,
Aunt M.

hey sixpints
the EXACT covers for those chairs are at a thrift store near me. 2 bottoms and one top. Looks like you might need them? At least one bottom? I think they were $2 (if they are still there)

That is crazy weird! I'm...
That is crazy weird! I'm sort of tempted since it would keep them more original... if they are still there. I did just purchase some vintage material that I like and might go with them a little better than what it came with. Now I'm undecided.
What's the general concensus on this? A picture of the new material is here....

After lunch
I bought this. I forgot the artists name, but it was painted years before EamesHead was birthed. I like it, but I have no use for it, unless one of you tells me that I should look at it closer. I'll re-donate it, probably. I'm out of wall space in Florida. Hi. Very Hi. Oh.......well.
Your Aunt
ps lunch was yummy, I wore Lilly.

plus...
does anyone have any ideas as to who did this this sig? All I can decipher is SDR 53. But I'm a fool. A messy one.
Many thanks in advance,
Your Aunt Mark

that is not
years before my birthday Mark. That IS my birthday. (Well okay, birth year)
How did you know? Oh you get special powers when you are toasted?
I can't say I know the artist. Looks like it might be a "limited palette" effort though. That's an assignment often given to students learning about color so they can avoid ending up with a little bit of everything going on in their painting. (as in every value AND every intensity of every color-- which often adds up to a disorganized mess.)
The limit of using just a few colors is meant to force the painter to do more color mixing, rather than just grab another tube of color constantly. (AND it lends unity, for better or worse)
This painting probably has too much unity. It probably would have been better if the student cheated and used another color. Damn art teachers. Control freaks, all of them.

Hi
Looks like "Mazhar" to me. Google is turning up mostly Indian paintings.

Thanks folks.
I'll sleep with it for 2 weeks, and then re-donate it.
oh...
Aunt Mark

Where is
SDR?
Perhaps he will have a different take on it. I like when he talks about white.
Im sorry, I'm already dreading the upcoming semester. I may have been too hard on the painting, due to visions of art class swirling in my head.
