Vintage home finds | No. 5
Multiple swirled vessels, a 1970's exhibition poster, and one tasteful butt crack
My best finds for my best friends:
Small enamelware pot — $25
I am an ardent subscriber to the practice of keeping a salt pinch pot next to your stove. I think this one would be a delightful choice if you don’t already have one (or, if you need another, because I like to have one for regular salt and one for fancy salt 💅).
Plaster torso sculpture — $75
Good patina, tasteful butt crack. Decidedly does not look like all the Roman/Grecian sculpture knock-offs that now grace the shelves of Home Goods.
Handmade ceramic basket — $30
Juicy! Cherry! Red! (Alternative title: Made! By! A human!) For your fruits in the kitchen, for your cloth napkins on the dining table, for your wallet + sunglasses + scarves by the front door.
Wavy pewter tray — $48
Just the right size for corralling your kitchen counter/coffee table/bathroom junk in a way that makes it look *collected* and *considered*.
Strawberry needlepoint foot stool — $55
The needlepoint design alone on this is frame-worthy! It’s worth noting that the shipping is also only $25 which is a deal for something this size imo.
Ceramic leek vase — $78
I think I’m just in a playful, vegetal spring mood?
1970s museum exhibition poster — $50
A great poster for those of us whose art mix could use a bit of graphic punchiness (speaking to myself here). Listed at $50 but you could make an offer and get an even better deal potentially.
Sun face horse brass — $18
This caught my eye because I have a nearly identical one hanging on my wall like a tiny piece of art. Love him!
Sarreid brass pyramid — $145
Speaking of brass: THIS BIG BOY!!! I’m awestruck. I want this dominating my console table under my tv or a very well curated bookshelf (that I don’t have). Sarreid is known for their brass clad furniture in the 70’s, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was of the same era.
Swirly green pitcher — $105
I just discovered this shop and it is CHOCK FULL of some amazing vintage pitchers, vessels, and plates. Shipping cost from Hungary has a bit of sticker shock to it, but I do think one of these would *make* a vignette on a side table, top of a cabinet, middle of your kitchen island, etc. This one is also a real looker.

Parting notes
I am drinking my own Kool-Aid from my chartreuse round up last week and bought this green sweater for $20 on ThredUp. A few other secondhand options I had saved here, here, here, and here.
And then, mere moments before arriving in hotel room (I’m in NYC for work) to complete this writing, I bought these two enamelware pieces from Toast — it seems my love of enamelware is bordering on obsession. I had my eye on them this past winter and they went out of stock, but here they were in store! Great news is that they’re also back in stock online. Bowl here and platter here.
And because of my these yucky green successes, these two bags are vying for my dollars/attention. I’m on a slippery slope.
