This retro fabulous dinnerware--we're starting here with bowls--was apparently designed in the 1950's by Bill Kemp for S. Fielding's Crown Devon, in Stoke-on-Trent, England.

The red "Stockholm" pattern features an Art Deco reindeer lacquered in a bright cheerful scarlet against a creamy ivory vellum mineral glaze. The leaping stag sails over yon fluffy snowbanks (outlined in a tasteful pale blue, no less) amidst the scattered gray pine forest...iconic and charming and cheerfully Scandinavian. No wonder it's a favorite of such notables as blogger/vintage style maven Kate Beavis and foodie Nigella Lawson. Njut av!

Pretty AND smart! I was lucky to find this luscious 1907 Art Nouveau encyclopedia set at the Bookmark Bookstore / Friends of the Oakland Public Library (FOPL) and it's now featured in my Etsy shop.

Set's 31-volumes are beyond amazing for their age--110 years old and counting--featuring buttery soft cappuccino-colored leather covers, tooled and embossed, with gilded lettering on the spines; full-page chromolithographs in vibrant hues; lots of engravings and maps.

Of special note is its interesting provenance: each book in the set is labeled with original owner and former California State Senator Fred Gerdes' name and several pieces of his ephemera are included, one featuring handwritten notes on the back of a political fundraising letter...a truly special set for the discerning antiquarian book lover!
