The first picture is not my pot. The second two are. I have been on a little trip to Oklahoma City, and of course it isn't vacation unless there is some shopping involved.(Of course a trip to OK isn't really a vacation, but its the closest thing to one that I'm going to see for a while.) I did a little thrifting while away, and found this pot on a shelf at one of the thrift stores in town. I love this pot but at $20 I felt that it was a little steep, so I put it back on the shelf and continued to browse. While I was looking I began to talk myself into the little pot, deciding I couldn't go any where and buy a new piece of cookware for less. So, I hurried back over picked up the pot, and told it that it was going to take the long drive back to St. Louis in my suitcase.
There are no markings I could find on it, but as I began to google, I found the lovely pot in the top picture for sale at Mjolk .
I believe it is priced at $290 and is made by Sarpaneva. I thought the space between the handles was for holding a spoon, looks like mine my be missing a handle, but for that price I think I my either make a handle myself or have one made.
I brought quite a few things home with me, so I hope this week I will be able to post them all.
score! it actually was designed by timo sarpaneva for iittala - a finnish company. i have not seen a black enamel one before, just the black cast iron and red enamel. if it is an original, there should be some markings, if not - who cares, it still looks nice. the handle, i believe, is made that way to also be removable and used to lift off the lid. this is one of my favorite mid century designs. so simple, elegant and functional.
ReplyDeleteI have done a little looking and found one red vintage one and at this point can't find and name on mine, But I belive that there was a handle that was not included with my purchase, but it's in great condition, so I think a special handle is in order.
