As I posted, I had a terrific thrift week. I am not posting everything, but had to share this wonderful enamel on copper. It is mounted on a teak stand. I am having the worst time taking photos, so I am not sure it shows how spectacular the details are. I am guessing that this is from the early 60s. But open to ideas. No markings that I can find.

Austro, thanks! I found so much stuff that I am a little overwhelmed. Two more KB snowballs, two Holmegaard disc candlesticks, more vintage Christmas, three industrial vintage lamps...and more. Crazy!
