Located in Brooklyn, NY
Extremely rare set of long-retired Mackenzie Childs Modular Majolica Shelf Supports. Modular, mix and match, can be stacked and configured in multiple ways.
There is very little information out there about this Mackenzie Childs design. My research tells me that these were sporadically available, a la carte and customized, through Neiman Marcus from the 1983 - 1993 for $700 to 1000+ per ceramic piece. Based on the MC mark on the bottom, this dates to the first year of production. Mackenzie Childs was also founded in 1983. The combination of ten ceramic shelf supports available here, as listed below, would have retailed for approximately $8800 in 1983 (equivalent to $23,800 today).
