Thrift - Makio Hasuike for Gedy

Nothing from the old Biddy shop, passed on a glass plate that I thought was ugly. At my fave thrift, a blue cat Taylor & Ng mug with a chip though I was tempted to keep it for myself, passed.  Gone the next time I went.

Really like the Gedy, Italy ABS plastic bin from the early 70's by Japanese designer Makio Hasuike. Had found a larger one in white a while ago but the thrift had managed to crush it. Passed on this Ernest Sohn chafing dish/fondue several times until I realized the heating element was in the pot.

    1. Thanks for the info! Figured it was something from the weight and design complexity but didn't want to gamble $5. If it had been anything but brown I would have picked it. Now I know for next time!
