Almost every "thrifter" I know has a list of ultimate finds. It contains items that would make your heart skip a beat if you would come across them in real life. Let alone if they are afordable too!
I practise my poker face every morning in the mirror (I can tell you, I need more practice), just so the dealer on the other end of the table doesn't know I am dying to buy their item.
The top spot on my list will always be a blue Roth vase. In imaculate condition. (Ha, like that's ever gonna happen!)
Furthermore, my top 10 contains a Ruscha 313 in Volcano glaze, Riihimaki uranium pieces, and a Bitossi puzzle vase. I love the wax technique that was used to create the puzzle pieces, and the colors are just great. It's a very sophisticated, but incredibly seventies colour scheme.
So... lo and behold what I found yesterday!
Isn't it wonderful? Added bonus is the beautiful shape. The decor works great on the circular body. It's a great design. I believe the design was by the great Aldo Londi.
Sadly, I'm not allowed to keep it. We have strict collection rules, only Bitossi animals are allowed permanent residence in our family. Therefore, it will soon go in my Etsy shop. But yes, my heart did skip a beat when I spotted it.
