An interlocking pair of Don Shoemaker "Elephant" salt and pepper shakers; made of some type of rosewood (cocobolo?). I like the decision to use contrasting lighter sapwood.

T720 solid walnut round side table by Jens Risom. Needs a little fixin' up; just how I like them.

I bought the six mugs (3 brown and 3 tan), nine cups (4 brown and 5 tan) and tray by Gunnar Cyrén for Dansk Designs yesterday for $3.00 at Goodwill.

It took a month (summer holidays in Europe) to find the designer and name of this piece. Anders Färdig (DHS founder) Icycle (their spelling) chamberstick for Crate & Barrel by Design House Stockholm 1994.
It is so much easier to contact the manufacturer rather than depend on Forum guessing.

Indeed it is much easier to contact the manufacturer if you are lucky enough to have a piece that is stickered or marked. However if you do email a manufacturer and don't get a response or the company is defunct or you simply want help it's nice to know there is lots of help here. I like the Icycle.

Ramie,
Thank you for the positive comment on the Icycle chamberstick. I list it as excess capacity. It has been recorded, categorized, packed and put in storage
Ease and luck have not got me to where I am today (we all take our own path). I have several ways of getting what I desire that range from simple to difficult. This forum is a viable option (see David Baird table lamp identification on this forum).

I agree, and I find very few people get on in life with just ease and luck (good for them if they manage it!). Having more than one feather in your bow is always a good thing.

My wife will appreciate the two Gunnar Bratlie Christmas plates for Porsgrund Porselænsfabrik Norway.

Some one continues to donate Alvar Aalto Savoy clear vases for Iittala to Goodwill. Last month was size C and today it is size E. This is good.
I also found a Christer Sjogren Viking for Lindshammar Glasbruk Sweden. The more the merrier.

I hope people continue to donate Heller Storage Jars® to Goodwill. I got another 603 and 604 (stock image) today. I now have a few dozen (various color lids) and counting. This is good.
I acquired another Ole Palsby MC No.1 white plastic vacuum jug for Studio Nova by Alfi. Two is better than one.
Philip Jodidio Architecture Now for Taschen was also donated. I am now the current owner. Too easy.

I have no idea regarding the company Laura Glass Works Italy The 37cm cobalt blue vase in excellent condition for a few dollars was too good to ignore.
Wieman nice etching. EpocaModerna a solid starting point. Congratulations to both of you.
