An Object not to be used but for display

A little while back, I was looking through the thrift stores to scout some books. Of course, I often wind up empty handed, which may be better than actually buying something and having to find out where on the bookshelves to place them.  The reason for this, as an older blog post mentioned, is the absolute lack of space.  Anyway, I did not find any books (as my want list is incredibly small anyway, consisting mainly of rare art/architecture books and a slew of nonsense paperbacks of mostly the mystery genre), but I did walk away with a fun piece that I seem to have seen somewhere before.  Try as I may, I could not place it. It did not have any markings to speak of. The shape and the colors (despite their being some chipping) are brilliant, and quite fun. Now, of course, I will not use this as a candle holder (which it is), but rather just as a stand alone piece.  I do wonder, though, whether I should somehow make a series based on them. But I suspect that will be one of the many projects that fall by the wayside.  Or not.

An object to join other such objects.
