Elsa Peretti Crystal Stone Candle Holder
$675.00

One of the Halstonettes in 1970s New York, Elsa Peretti began making jewelry for a handful of fashion designers including Halston and Giorgio di Sant’ Angelo. Peretti signed a contract with Tiffany & Co. in 1974 and continues to be a featured designer there today. Her pieces incorporate organic forms, have an appreciation of the human body, and bridge the gap between costume and serious jewelry. Along with jewelry, Peretti has also created many tabletop designs for Tiffany, including this stone-shaped crystal candleholder, no longer in production.

Hella Jongerius “Asia” Jonsberg Vase
$950.00

One of four vases designed for IKEA, Jongerius responded to the challenge of how to preserve traces of the craft process within a mass-produced product. The same archetypal forms are made in four ceramic techniques and their decorations refer to specific parts of the world, the Soviet Union, Africa, Asia and Europe. These vases are sought by collectors and galleries the world over.

Hornsea Cirrus Concept Vase
$195.00

UK pottery company Hornsea introduced the Concept range of tableware released in 1977 and it immediately won a Design Council Award for designers Martin Hunt and David Queensberry. What makes these designs unique are their molded concentric circles and unglazed stoneware body which Hornsea called Vitramic. This particular glaze of spots that seem to be bleached out of the light blue ground is called Cirrus, presumably for the pattern’s resemblance to cloud formations.

John Clappison Aphrodite Vase
$625.00

Founded in post-war England, much of Hornsea’s most iconic pieces were designed by John Clappison including the “Aphrodite” vase, the ubiquitous wedding gift of its day.

Karim Rashid Pink Vase
$275.00

Karim Rashid may be the most prolific industrial designer working today. From packaging for Method to the ubiquitous Garbo trash can, Rashid has designed over 3,000 objects for more than 50 clients in 40 countries. This vase is perfectly aligned with his curvy, futuristic approach to design.

Michael Graves Little Dripper Coffee Set
$995.00

Long before his products for Target were ubiquitous and in the same decade his Post Modern temples in Portland and Louisville delighted [and confounded], Michael Graves designed The Little Dipper Coffee Set for Swid Powell. Partial to filter-drip coffee, Graves created this set to meet his own needs – and rigorous aesthetic standards. Like in his architecture, he employed an expressive color palette and figurative motifs to charming effect – the terracotta colored bases represent the warmth and color of coffee and the blue waves decorating the sides of the set, water. This is a rare opportunity to own an icon of Post Modernism in tabletop form. And have a great cup of joe.

Uta Feyl Large Queensbury Marble Venus Vase
$475.00

Born in the Czech Republic and educated in Berlin, Uta Feyl has designed numerous objects for Rosenthal beginning in 1979. Her designs draw on forms found in nature and the human body. Rosnethal employed the Queesnbury Marble pattern across forms and materials and in different colorways.

Wedgwood Dancing Hours Lidded Urn
$1,125.00

Jasperware is a type of pottery developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s with an unglazed biscuit finish. Often relief decorations of contrasting colors are characteristic of jasperware, giving a cameo effect. Dipped refers to the colored slip added to the white body, here black.

The Dancing Hours depicts the classical Horae, the personifications of the hours of the day. The source for the design is a chimneypiece of white marble against a blue lapis ground, formerly in the Palazzo Borghese in Rome. [In the 18th century it was installed in Moor Park, Hertfordshire.] Attributed to John Flaxman Jr., the design is perhaps the best-known of all the Wedgwood bas reliefs.
