I can just picture young Gordon Harkrader becoming so deeply immersed in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow that he could not help but to make it his own

I couldn't resist the pyrographed "Pipe Dream" back panel of this old wood and brass pipe rack

A striking mid-century piece

Gorgeous 2004 Twisted Neck Matte Green Studio Pottery Vase indigenous south american I can just picture youngI spotted this stunning vase in a case otherwise filled with American Art Pottery from the early 20th century, where it both stood out and fit right in. (The form also immediately reminded me of Edward Weston's photographs of bell peppers!) Beautifully crafted and super sculptural, it reads from a distance as (Arts and Crafts) matte green, but looking more closely one sees it is bluer in the recesses and under and around the lip. Gorgeous all the way
