Found: Maurer-Becker Utensilo







FOUND.

Utensilo or Wall All designed by Dorothee Maurer-Becker,
Germany, 1969.

These iconic pieces were manufactured both in Germany & the U.S.A.

This one was made by Format Sales in NY, USA.
It is the smaller version.

I love that it is in black and goes with my vintage Steelcase desk.
I love that I found it at a thrift store for $2.99.
(these smaller ones sell from between $200.-300.)

Timepiece

Found. A vintage, circa 1962, electronic wall clock;
the ATO-MAT S, made by Junghans, a German company known to be one of the most innovative watch companies in the world.

I love the look. Uber sophisticated with it's deep metal frame inset with the matte brushed finished face. Topping it off is a substantial leather strap with hefty brass 'hook'.

I like to give all items I sell a good test run. It is currently ticking consistently in my hallway. When I am confident about it's mechanics I will be listing it in my shop...

Delightful Vintage Dolls

I found these seven delightful vintage miniature dolls at the Sunday Market a few weeks ago. Wrapped up in a clear plastic bag, they caught my eye with their sweet charm. Sold!

There is a sticker on one saying East Germany. They stand just under 3 inches high.

I love all the attention to detail on the clothing and the simplicity of their nature; just a lovely grouping of dolls to catch the imagination of a young child...
