  Filling in the Pepper Mill Collection

  05.18.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  My book Danish Pepper used Robert Chipman’s amazing illustrations as a proxy for the mills I did not have in my collection at the time I did the pepper mill photo shoot.  There were 17 mills/sets pictured.  Since then I’ve filled in my collection a bit and gotten some more information, which I want to […]

  Happy Birthday Danish Pepper

  05.13.09 | Permalink | Comment?

  It’s been a whole year since I put in my order for the first 50 copies of the book Danish Pepper.  It seems like just yesterday. Thanks so much to all the people who purchased it over the last year and have helped support my efforts to get the word out about Jens Quistgaard and […]

  Dansk Auction Watch

  04.29.09 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  eBay has been slow lately.  I don’t know if it is spring fever, the down economy, or what – but there haven’t been a ton of interesting auctions lately.  It’s been a while since I’ve posted and that’s because until a recent spate of interesting auctions, I haven’t seen too much going on! Well, if […]

  Dansk “Classic Fjord”

  04.25.09 | Permalink | Comment?

  The nice folks at Dansk have been busy lately.  Their latest is a a series of aluminum serving dishes inspired by some of Jens Quistgaard’s teak classics from the early days of Dansk.  The Dansk site does not credit JHQ with the pieces, but I’m sure that 2 of these pieces (one comes in two […]

  Lot of JHQ mills sells for $7,813

  03.27.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Earlier 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

  03.26.09 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  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 […]

  Should he eat it?

  I 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!

  03.08.09 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  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 […]

  Rare Woods Wenge Mill – new eBay auction

  01.24.09 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  In a rare move, I’m selling a Dansk salt and pepper set by Quistgaard.  I couldn’t resist when I saw this for sale, but it wasn’t cheap, so I’m going to sell it in the hopes I make a little extra money to buy more pepper mills. You can visit the auction here to read […]
