Beatrice Wood Signed Volcanic Ash Blue Iridescent Luster Studio Pottery Bowl
Located in Studio City, CA
Famed California Mid-Century Modern artist Beatrice wood signed bowl featuring her highly coveted deep ash blue iridescent lustre/luster glaze. In certain light, the glaze radiates as a purple hue in some areas. The glaze runs down the sides and gathers in areas underneath.
This piece comes with an interesting history/ provenance. This piece came from Beatrice's personal collection. She was using it as a coin and key holder in her Ojai house which accounts for the cracks in the glaze. It was gifted to Maria Anderson who assisted Beatrice around her home. We considered having the work restored but because of its history feel that it offers more value to the next owner as shown. This was apparently the condition it was given in as Wood was famous for noting about her work that objects that are not quite perfect are simply that...perfect because of their imperfections. A very Wabi-Sabi view. Flawed Beauty.
We love the piece and the history.
Signed with her customary "Beato" on the underside.
Would be an amazing addition to any collection of her work or a fabulous, eye-catching Stand-alone piece in any setting, Mid-Century Modern or otherwise.
Know famously in the art world as "The Mama of Dada...

Japanese Okame Ko-Omote Wood Carved Noh Theater Mask
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful, wonderfully crafted, alluring mask made for Japanese Noh theatre. This mask is handcrafted and carved from natural wood.
Ko-omote translates as "little mask" or sometimes "small face." This particular delicate featured mask (her red lips really stand out) is used for main and sometimes secondary roles when the character is a young girl or, in some cases, a supernatural being. What is also interesting about this mask is the blackened teeth which centuries ago, was customary for Japanese women to paint their teeth black after they became married.
We believe this mask dates from the mid-to early Showa period, perhaps Mejia. The mask was acquired from an antique mask...

Vintage Pennsylvania Amish “Sunshine and Shadows” Hand-Stitched Crib Quilt
Located in Barrington, IL
This beautifully hand-crafted Amish quilt, made in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania during the mid-1900s, features the beloved “Sunshine and Shadows” pattern—an enduring symbol of balance and tradition in Amish quiltmaking. Composed of hand-cut and hand-stitched cotton pieces, the quilt showcases a striking palette of blues, reds, and greens arranged with rhythmic precision and quiet elegance.
Expertly sewn with exceptionally fine stitching, this quilt reflects the Amish community’s deep-rooted values of simplicity, resourcefulness, and craftsmanship. As was customary, the materials used were repurposed from what was available in the home—making this quilt not only a work of art, but also a beautiful example of early upcycling, where practicality and creativity seamlessly intertwine.
While quilts like this were originally created for everyday use, their enduring beauty and cultural significance have made them highly collectible. Because of its intricate design and visual impact, this quilt is especially well-suited for display as a wall-hung textile.
Please note: some colors may appear distorted in photos—refer to the video for a more accurate representation.
Dimensions: 36” x 44”
Date of Manufacture: 2nd Quarter of the 1900s

"Lady and Baby by The Wishing Well" Still Bank, German, circa 1910
Located in Incline Village, NV
Very interesting wooden still bank with lots going on. All hand-carved of wood with four small circular risers elevating the base. There is a water pump with a bucket hanging from it and a metal pumper attached to the top. A hand-carved and painted brown pine tree is attached at the opposite corner with a large water well to the other corner. A lady with outstretched arms and a "King Cole" type headdress seems to be reaching out to her baby dressed in green who is lying down on top of the well, next to the coin slot. Perhaps she is about to bathe her. A bird looks on from atop the perch protruding from the pump. Dominant hand painted colors are different shades of brown and all original with no repaint. Very nice all original paint and condition with a small chip missing here and there to this handmade, kind of "folksy", and very well done bank (see images). A round circular key lock trap for releasing the coins is on the underneath, along with "Wishing Well German" handwritten on the opposite corner (see image). Whether written by an earlier collector or maker is not known.
Dimensions: 4" square x 3 5/8" high.
A unique one of a kind piece to add to a collection of still banks and a nice addition to a Folk Art collection (from my own collection).
