The Last Thing You Acquired # 37  

I don't think it is known who designed or made these chairs.  There are a few different ones, and they all look rather a lot like a Møller 71, but they aren't Møller chairs. 

Newly purchased Eero Saarinen dining table in grey marble with a black base. Newer production, with some scratches and marks that mostly polished out. The set came with some Eames Aluminum Group chairs that I promptly re-sold and made the table a net profit.
Around the table, my set of well loved 1948 Eames DCWs in original faded Red Aniline finish. All of the chairs have various marks, scratches and some finish missing somewhere, but the red is stunning, and its probably the only set of 6 Evans productions DCWs in Red Aniline left in the world. I previously asked about these when I first purchased them in the summer, but this is the first time photographing them in their natural environment.

Good gracious.  Those red chairs would go so well with a Usonian interior.  Wright's chair designs, while well suited to his houses, are oddities at best, and not much for comfort unless cushioned, I believe.  But two houses -- Pew, and Rosenbaum -- were photographed early on with Eames DCWs at the table, and they seemed right at home.  The general tonality of the brick-and-wood Usonians is red of a sort . . .

Leif, i thought so that they are nameless, but they where well made, comfortable and for me, very beautyfull.

Not very often anymore that I pick up an early Dansk peppermill for cheap.  $18 at a local vintage shop. The stoneware vase is a Japanese import piece from the same vintage shop.

Nice find, well done.

Thanks Woodywood

Good day to all!
I was finally able to locate the perfect and identical replacement of a gravy boat that I dropped and broke 2 years ago.  Rosenthal Studio Line.  I forget who did the design. Hi.
Fondly,
Aunt Mark,  Gravy eater.

But in my dreams, this would be my latest acquision.  It cruises past my pad daily.  I'm damp.
carry on,
Aunt M, dream queen

how good of a swimmer are you Mark?  Piracy is still alive and well.

Mmm.  Sweet motor yacht -- from an earlier era ?

I believe it is what is referred to as a Down-East Yacht, derived from Maine Lobster boat designs.  Bunker & Ellis was a well known maker of similar boats in the 50's, but I don't know who made that one. 

Mark, Your gravy boat was designed by Tapio Wirkkala.  I believe that it is part of the Composition series.

Top of the morning, all!
@waffle,  I'm afraid of water.
@SDR,  yes and yes, but the 4 or 5 handsome (clad in all white)) crewman look to be from a different era.  I'd wear pink.
@tchp,  Thanks for sharing.  I now know a bit more about boats.  A friend suggested that the ship was manufactured by  Trumpy. 
@ AllthingsStig,  Thank you quite much for the ID.  I have a service for twelve with a broken coffee pot (broken at the same time as the gravy boat).  I shall find a replacement coffee pot asap.
 
off topic,  My friend mentioned that wooden Trumpy ships were made from "First cuttings".  What is considered a first cutting?  
Best to all,
Aunt M
