i just stumbled upon some pieces by catherine
holm on ebay. i can't find much about her but
apparently she's norwegian and worked mostly
during the mid-twentieth century. i think i
just developed a new designer crush. here's

teapot i found a couple weeks ago is a chantal
and worth about $120 new. i only paid a few
dollars, so i think that makes it an excellent find.
just add that to my non-existent holm pieces in my
hypothetical kitchen in my imaginary century studio. ha.





fondue anyone?
