  Damask Lamp

  10 saves, 29 months ago

  Named for the city of Damascus, once famous for its textiles, damask is a richly patterned fabric used for linens, upholstery, and drapes. Inspired by damask found at a Parisian flea market, this romantic little lamp is the perfect accent for a console, corner, or bedside table. Glass shade, brass base, pull-chain switch. Takes one 60-watt bulb (not included). 5" square, 20" tall.

  Standing Fish Vase

  9 saves, 29 months ago

  A creative way to display fresh-cut flowers or greens, fruit, or perhaps a collection of shells or polished stones. Thick-walled vases are mouth-blown from clear glass; the fins and tails are worked by hand when the glass is still red-hot. A sign of the artist’s skill, each is virtually flawless, yet each has its own personality. Standing fish is 6" diameter, 15 1/2" high.
