The Last Thing That You Acquired #41.  

Those are lovely jesgord! As much as I like the wooden handles, I sometimes start my cooking stove-top, then I sling the pan into a hot oven. I wonder if the wood handles on those would get angry? Maybe not. Regardless, hug your dad.,,,those are sweet. I like em quite well.
Best,
Your Old Aunt.

Aunt Mark,
That's what the Dutch ovens on the back left are for....no wood handles....stove top top to oven. Green pork Chile here I come!

Except that something like a frittata is much easier to make and serve out of a saute pan! But all you need is one that is totally ovenproof, I guess.
Mmm...fritatta....

Jesgord your Waterford Colorcast cookware from Ireland are goodlooking and functional like the other makes. I have them in white and the one in the center back with the coordinated lid (see attached image) for me is the best looking.
It all depends on the type of cooking one does and access to washing cookware (I don't have a cleaning staff but the little ones pitches in once in a while), any of those beautiful cookware can sometimes can get messy when left unattended to overheat/burn or used for the wrong type of cooking. Designate them for light simple low heat cooking like soups, stews and pasta and leave the greasy frying to the more utilitarian versions or use them for serving only to extend its lifespan.
I appreciate that the likes of Jens Quistgaard, Dansk and othermakers elevated enamelware from its humble utilitarian and low brow origins (remember those speckeled camping utensils) to an elegant beautiful functional objects.
I think Timo Sarpeneva's cast iron pot with teak handle is the most refined of them all.

Oh lord, sweeter than wishbones.
Simply lovely,
Aunt M.

Yesterday I went to Trader Joe's to get some coffee (cookies too). I stopped at the Home Goods a few doors down and purchased the Bluw™ Toy Soldier Bookends for a few bucks. My wife likes this piece (surprise).

What a horrifyingly branded consumerist hell you describe-
war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength

objectworship,
Now I know exactly why I like the bookends. I mistakenly believed childhood memories of my friends and I playing with inexpensive green toy soldiers motivated me. I am grateful for your insight. You should receive special treatment.

Auntie Mark, this is the brutalist piece that I thought you might appreciate.....

my wife calls it a hospital table...

A Johannes Aasbjerg solid teak dovetail edge dresser (currently missing legs) and a custom solid teak side table.
I noticed something new about Aasbjerg's construction as well: he aligned all his screw heads.
The poor dresser was very poorly cared for and needs work. I will document that in a separate thread.

My wife drove two hours through miserable Bay Area traffic for a pair of nightstands by Raymond Loewy for Mengel. They are adorable, heavy little pieces.
The last Loewy piece we brought home smelled like gasoline 😉
