“A Robineau vase is a true work of art, unique in conception and perfect in execution, for every piece that left this studio was a labor of love.” – Ethel Brand Wise, The American Magazine of Art, 1929
Adelaide Alsop Robineau was a pioneer in American studio ceramics and excelled as an innovator in pottery both technically and aesthetically. As a young woman of high society in the late Victorian era, she gained early accolades as a skilled watercolorist and china painter and taught for a time at St. Mary’s Hall in Minnesota. In 1899, she married Samuel E. Robineau, a French gentleman and collector of Chinese ceramics. He was deeply intrigued by her talent and steadfastly supported and encouraged her throughout her career. The couple collaborated to produce a popular and influential monthly journal together, Keramic Studio, and went on to build a studio on their property in Syracuse, New York, which they named Four Winds. Robineau would also go on to teach for many years at Syracuse University while creating her own work and raising three children.
Early in her career, she studied at Alfred University under Charles Binns, who is widely considered to be the progenitor of contemporary studio ceramics in America. His program established a shift in the craft of ceramics as an academic pursuit, rather than one of apprenticeship. Pottery throwers and the artists who decorated the wares traditionally inhabited separate roles in ceramic manufacture, a practice common in Europe. Binns’ philosophy merged the two, such that the potter had total agency of the final product. This marked a historic divergence in the creation of art pottery – one that Adelaide Robineau...

Auspiciousness Eggs by Ango, the Art&Craft of Feng Shui Egg for Home Decor items
By Ango
Located in Bangkok, TH
Auspiciousness Eggs by Ango is Feng Shui Egg Stone hand-weld and crafted for feng shui home decor items. Kotchakorn Promchai, the renowned Feng Shui master in Thailand invited Ango to create auspiciousness elements to enhance the Feng Shui of a space in a special collaboration. With their sophisticated craft these objects create a beautiful energy around them as well as commanding auspiciousness.
The meaning of Auspiciousness Feng Shui Eggs
Harmony, safety and a smooth path towards achieving goals are overall meaning of Auspicious Feng Shui Egg. The proportion of 52 to 54 mm in length signifies a wealthy life and the width of 42 to 44 mm signifies happiness and prosperity, while the coins placed inside each egg signify good fortune, good luck harmony and spiritual support.
• Silver Auspicious Egg
The colour of peace, justice, intelligence, future-facing, communication, maternity, happiness and prosperity.
• Gold Auspicious Egg
The colour of power, virtue, prestige, leadership, happiness and prosperity.
• Copper Auspicious Egg
The colour of elegance, happiness, charm, popularity, imagination and wealth.
The three colours of Auspiciousness Eggs
The three different colours of Auspiciousness Eggs reflect different aspects in the creation of new energy, happiness and prosperity. Bringing Auspiciousness Eggs into your home or place of work can bring harmony in love, along with good family relations and good fortune in your career, at the same time enabling wealth generation for you, your parents, children and the team who you work with.
The significance of the numbering used in creating the Auspiciousness Eggs
Number 1 signifies success, victory, smoothness in life, leadership and recognition.
Number 6 signifies unexpected fortune, divine blessing, imagination and happiness.
Number 8 signifies wealth, power, popularity and spiritual support.
Number 9 signifies a plenty of propitiousness and auspiciousness.
Each egg is then designed to house 8 silver coins, that are doubled so 16 coins in total; 9 gold coins that are then doubled, so 18 coins; and 10+9 copper coins so 19 coins in total. The technique of doubling is used to increase auspiciousness along with power, and the sequence 8, 9, 10 signifies an increasing power of auspiciousness. So with each piece of Auspiciousness Egg, the propitiousness is maximised in every way and it is recommended you can try one Auspiciousness Egg or one set of three eggs, to gain energy and then build up to 9 elements.
How to place by Auspiciousness Eggs for Feng Shui within your home.
One recommendation is to place the eggs on the desk space or study table. And for stock market investments, it is recommended the eggs are near to the computer. Another suggestion is on the cashier table, by the safe, or on a shelf with the other decorative items.
Who should have Auspiciousness Eggs?
The Auspiciousness Egg is a Feng Shui element that gains in energy starting with the determination patience and meditative skill shown by the artisans who create each piece by hand. This good fortune is for everyone no matter what year...

Brutalist Bar Cabinet 1960' Tansania
Located in Rome, IT
Rare and unique brutalist bar cabinet decorated with hand carved bear. Koncz Vilmos (1932 – 2006). He started painting at the age of 30, using the following techniques: charcoal, pastel, oil. He has had solo exhibitions eight times in Budapest, and his works have been featured in seventeen group exhibitions worldwide. He was an experimental creator. Its more than 420 works include glass mosaics, terracotta, copper embossing and furniture carving. After his death, most of his oeuvre was “lost”. A decade and a half passed from painting to the first carvings. Middle Eastern and African culture had a major impact on his further artistic work. Traveled and created in Baghdad, Kuwait, Beirut and Tanzania. He became acquainted with the ancient folk art of the Makonde tribe, with carvings of ebony and ivory, which changed his creative career. When he made an authentic bracelet out of ivory, decorated with African motifs, the members of the tribe welcomed him among themselves. He became the tribe’s "Mister Vili." An exhibition of his painted paintings was held at the Kilimanjaro Hotel. He learned the machining of copper from the Arabs and the making of glass mosaics, and the tricks of jewelry making from the Hindus. He had forty large sculptures erected in various settlements of Hungary, mostly multi-field, made with a circular carving technique. Everything from ornaments on the table to the three-meter-high monument was found in his oeuvre. The Tiszakürt Arboretum also houses two wooden sculptures made of circular carvings: Tasso and the Tanzanian family tree. Donated works of his hometown: the 1956 headboard, the “Jászok” and “Kunok” (Old Hungarian Tribes), the “Flute”, the “Kolompolás” (Ringing the Bell) and the “Winged Altar”. In the 1980s, he also made carvings for the Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden. His Ars Poetic was: “I do what I love, which drives from within, because I want to leave marks behind that I once existed and perhaps not uselessly” (2002). The term "Brutalist" originated from Le Corbusier’s Cité...

Antique and Vintage Decorative Objects for Sale: Find Vases, Bowls, Boxes and Clocks on 1stDibs
Every time you move into a house or an apartment — or endeavor to refresh the home you’ve lived in for years — life for that space begins anew. The right home accent, be it the simple placement of a decorative bowl on a shelf or a ceramic vase for fresh flowers, can transform an area from drab to spectacular. But with so many materials and items to choose from, it’s easy to get lost in the process. The key to styling with antique and vintage decorative objects is to work toward making a happy home that best reflects your personal style.
Ceramics are a versatile addition to any home. If you’ve amassed an assortment of functional pottery over the years, think of your mugs and salad bowls as decorative objects, ideal for displaying in a glass cabinet. Vintage ceramic serveware can pop along white open shelving in your dining area, while large stoneware pitchers paired with woven baskets or quilts in an open cupboard can introduce a rustic farmhouse-style element to your den.
Translucent decorative boxes or bowls made of an acrylic plastic called Lucite — a game changer in furniture that’s easy to clean and lasts long — are modern accents that are neutral enough to dress up a coffee table or desktop without cluttering it. If you’re showcasing pieces from the past, a vintage jewelry box for displaying your treasures can spark conversation: Where is the jewelry box from? Is there a story behind it?
Abstract sculptures or an antique vessel for your home library can draw attention to your book collection and add narrative charm to the most appropriate of corners. There’s more than one way to style your bookcases, and decorative objects add a provocative dynamic. “I love magnifying glasses,” says Alex Assouline, global vice president of luxury publisher Assouline, of adding one’s cherished objects to a home library. “They are both useful and decorative. Objects really elevate libraries and can also make them more personal.”
To help with personalizing your space and truly making it your own, find an extraordinary collection of decorative objects on 1stDibs.
