Danish Glass Collection on eBay
I’m posting this to let readers know that I have listed a large part of my Danish glass collection on eBay. In an effort to “streamline” my collection, I need to let a few things go. I hope you are interested. Please let me know if there are any questions. I’ll probably list a few […]

Lot of JHQ mills sells for $7,813
03.27.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsEarlier this week at a Wright auction in Chicago, a collection of 24 Jens Quistgaard mills went for $7,813. By my math, that is $325 per mill. That’s almost one share of Google stock. Wow. There were a few rare ones in the mix, most of the somewhat rare ones, and quite a few common […]

Amazing Pepper Mill Danish Mafia Disco
OK, that title makes no sense but stay with me… As a clever new way to drive the price of their Quistgaard mills even higher, the nice folks at Danish Mafia have created an HD video of the 11 mills they currently have for sale. Ten of the mills are JHQ Dansk mills, and the […]

I highly recommend checking out the site – the photos are amazing. Just look at those details. The glass! The wood! The tiles! The pool! Every inch of the interior […]

Giant Concrete Helvetica Sign
03.21.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI’ve seen these signs a few times and today got a chance to experience them up close. They aren’t far from my house, in the South East corner of San Francisco. Very cool. I think Sacha liked them as much as I did (probably for different reasons). I wonder when they were put in? How […]

The poster is super cool and show a great range of amazing objects from throughout the history of Industrial Designer. I don’t see any Jens Quistgaard pieces in there, but is that […]

Some old Grateful Dead Photos
03.14.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI got my scanner out for some more old Grateful Dead photos, but these are REALLY old. I did not take these. They were taken (probably in New York) by the late jazz photographer Raymond Ross. He used to live above the original Knitting Factory, and they were purchased directly from him in the late […]

The Witch’s House
03.14.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI just found that there has been a book written about the late Mary Nohl, who is the misunderstood Witch of Fox Point, Wisconsin. She had a home that was covered in and surrounded by her art. It was located right on Lake Michigan in a small exclusive suburb of Milwaukee. You had to go down a […]

Should he eat it?
03.12.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI was highly amused by this eBay listing today. Under a photo of what is clearly (to my eyes) NOT a Dansk pepper mill: I’ve looked everywhere for a marking on this awesome 7” tall teak combination pepper mill and saltshaker. I know the newer ones were marked with a transparent plastic label, and is […]

Pepper mill collection SOLD!
For three short hours today you could have bought this nice pepper mill collection for the low low price of only $1,250. Well, maybe the price isn’t that low, but considering that two of the 14 are rare enough to be worth prob $250 each, and over half have early metal grinders, it starts to […]
