Aluminum Dove Ornament
I have a backlog of bird-inspired objects ruffling in my bookmarks. This little guy is 6.5”, and I thought he’d make a sweet blind-pull ornament. He’d also be amusing dangling from the cord of your ceiling fan. Comes in silver or chocolate.

Claw Tongs
Finally, the perfect servingware for your Thanksgiving turkey platter. Actually, they’d look swell in a bucket of ice too. Made of silverplated bronze, the claw tongs are designed by–who else?–Michael Aram. I may very well love this man. Michael? Call me.

Classic Century Teapot
I’ve spent way too much time on eBay looking for the perfect teapot. This honey is a reissue of a 1952 design by Eva Zeisel. It’s dishwasher and microwave safe, totally usable, and worthy of display. Several pieces in the collection have the same utilitarian, yet sculptural feel to them. Click around and see if you fall for one too.

Botanical Olive Branch Menorah
I know Chanukah is a long way off, but this stunning menorah could double as a candelabra. I love the symbolism of the olive branch and the respect for a branch’s natural form. It’s designed by Michael Aram and is crafted of oxidized bronze. You totally want it.
