I also picked up a few other things while on the thrifty rounds. This ceramic lama and bull are hilariously weird and SO heavy. The bull is branded with with like a WS (I think) but otherwise unmarked. Love the crazy texture and blue lips, it’s like they are suffocating under all that ceramic fur weight.
I also picked up a cream Eames side shell chair on a low lounger h-base that needs a little bit of restoration love and a flokati fur pillow.
To celebrate the new shop and terrible weather I went out thrifting in Palm Springs. My fun find this weekend was a Jaru gold ram head from the 1970’s. Looks like the ghost of KWID is infiltrating ye’ old brick house…
What the hell is Jaru? I didn’t know but a quick Google informed me that Jaru was a Californian pottery company started in 1950 by Jack and Ruth Hirsch that made some unquestionably ugly ceramic pieces.
My haul from this weekend. The thrifting was truly superb after such a long dry spell.
