Laurel Mushroom Lamp - Mushroom Shade = This
I found a Laurel Mushroom lamp base at Savers thrift store for $4. I now have to locate the elusive mushroom shade. I went through my lamp shades and found that this shade from ikea shade rests perfectly in the lamp. Not as cool as the original, but it work for the time being

New Bowls
I picked up some new bowls
Nambe bowl # 563 (probably designed by Richard K Thomas) from Salvation Army
Hyalyn bowl designed by Herb Cohen. from an Antique Shop (GASP, I know. It was more than I wanted to pay, but I had to have it)
I have learned my lesson. Stick to thift stores and flea markets where the dollar goes further.

Pair of Studio Pottery Lamps
It is hard to find a vintage pair of lamps, let alone a vintage pair of studio pottery lamps. These are in the danish modern style. They are signed but the glaze has dripped over the signature making it hard to read. They are a handsome set. From the Salvation Army

Studio Pottery Lamp Signed Brown
It is very hard to do a google search for a potter who signs "brown". I can tell this is a great piece of pottery. The lamps is perfectly round, the turn marks are perfectly even, the carved decoration is flawless, and the piece is increadably light. This is definately made by a master potter. It's in the danish modern style. Found in goodwill for $3.99.
