Sailing Ship Model of the "H.M.S. Bounty 1787"
Located in LA CIOTAT, FR
This stunning handcrafted model represents the H.M.S. Bounty, a historic ship famously launched in 1787. The replica is meticulously crafted from walnut, showcasing incredible attention to detail and the artistry of traditional shipbuilding techniques. The wooden hull is smooth and polished, with planking and fittings that echo the original design of the Bounty, emphasizing authenticity.
The rigging is finely executed with taut strings that replicate the intricate web of lines and pulleys used on the actual vessel. The sails are made from aged fabric, adding a realistic touch and evoking the feel of a ship caught in the winds of a historic voyage. The figurehead, carved at the prow, demonstrates the ship’s decorative flair, typical of vessels from the late 18th century.
The deck is replete with intricate details, such as capstans, gratings, and cannons, providing insight into the functional elements of the Bounty. A small plaque engraved with “H.M.S Bounty 1787” confirms the ship’s identity, linking this model to its historical roots.
The H.M.S. Bounty was famously associated with the Mutiny...

Beatrice Wood Signed Midcentury California Studio Pottery Luster Glaze Vase
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderful gem of a piece by famed American/California ceramicist Beatrice Wood featuring her highly coveted, gorgeously radiant turquoise luster glaze. A beautiful design with a delicate long neck rising from a circular base. Classic and timeless.
Signed by Beatrice in her customary "Beato" on the underside of the base (with noted inventory number).
Would be an amazing addition to any Mid-Century Modern pottery collection or personal collectors of her work or a fabulous stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. One of the best Beatrice Wood's luster glaze vases we have come across in quite a while.
Know famously in the art world as "The Mama of Dada", Wood lived a long (1893-1998) and very fruitful, creative life and is considered by many experts and collectors alike to have been a centerpiece in the modern ceramic art movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. At one point in her career, Wood studied with master potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler and later become famed in her own right for her distinct luster-glazing techniques. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an "Esteemed American Artist".
Her other awards include:
1994 Governor’s Awards for the Arts (California)
1993 Recognition as A Role Model by Women in Film
1992 Gold Medal for Highest Achievement in Craftsmanship, American Craft Council
1988 Distinguished Service Award, Arizona State University
