Louisville Pottery Company Daniel Boone Rare Mauve Mid Century Modern Kentucky
By Louisville Pottery Company
Located in Mobile, AL
The Louisville Pottery company used a variety of stamps and sold to touristy shops with marks including Cherokee, Great Smokey Mountains, Daniel Boone, Mammoth Cave, Kentucky Hand Made and more. Most of them are small pitchers and vases in traditional forms.

Vintage Tall Bronze and Marble Abstract Sculpture by Artist Bob Bennett
By Bob Bennett
Located in New York, NY
A vintage tall abstract bronze sculpture on a marble base by American artist Bob Bennett. Signed, dated (1985), and numbered (36/100) at the back base.
Bennett sculpture is created by world-renowned sculptors Bob and Tom Bennett, identical twins who share a singular artistic vision. Their work is unmistakable: brilliant forms designed in light, sculpted by hand, and cast in bronze. Bob and Tom’s remarkable style sleek, fluid, high polished bronze was developed over the last 40 years and has come to captivate collectors from around the world. Bennett sculpture has developed a broad international following, and is collected by a wide range of notable figures, including famous actors, musicians, athletes, Presidents and Popes. Their subject matter is diverse spanning abstract designs, impressionistic forms, and streamlined human figures. While each individual sculpture is breathtakingly unique, collectively they are unmistakably Bennett sculpture.
