The mood board of my life. I like cats, science, art, ephemera, classic Hollywood, fashion, mysticism, oddities, and my home of New York City.

Vase (France, c1900) – Edmond Lachenal
With this astonishing vase, Edmond Lachenal clearly expressed the passion for Japanese aesthetics and culture that swept Europe at the fin de siècle. The modest form and spontaneous caramel colored glaze, with daring drips and streaks of charcoal gray, black, and orange refer indirectly to the features previously associated with Japanese tea ceremony ceramics. The shoulder-level frieze of low-relief masks is a direct homage to the masks used in the Kabuki theater. Marks: Lachenal in glaze on the base.
