After a break, because it's hard to carry a baby through old homes, I've been estate sale-ing it again recently. One of the things I've been on the hunt for is a new fruit bowl. Secretly I've been hoping to stumble upon a Cathrineholm lotus bowl.
But I might not have to hunt for a vintage version much longer. Lucie Kaas, a Danish design company, has relaunched a Cathrineholm ceramics collection. The new lotus bowls come in three sizes and eight colors and are part of the Arne Clausen collection, named after the Norwegian artist who originally designed the lotus pattern.
However, there isn't an American seller for the bowls right now. There are a few online retailers who will ship overseas but, as always, overseas shipping adds a great deal to the cost. Hopefully some of the vintage stores in Austin or some of my vintage store friends will start carrying this collection.
I was looking at those the other day too. They're pretty pricey to begin with, and then, like you said, the shipping makes them even more so...but I sure do like them...and I'm not known for my great restraint when something catches my eye. :)
ReplyDeleteI still holding out for a vintage one, but the longer I go without finding one, the less likely I'm going to be able to show restraint myself.
DeleteDoes Amazon have a Denmark site? I should check that out myself.
ReplyDeleteIn Denmark you're lucky enough to have multiple choices to buy these bowls, both online and off. You can check the list of sellers here: http://luciekaas.com/en/stores
