Paul Dachsel

Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.
― David Hume


So how do you feel about this pottery by Czech pottery designer Paul Dachsel (born c. 1880)? When I saw one of his vases, I thought, "Here's this week's Art Thursday!" Happy sigh.

  5. These are wonderful! Interesting that Dachsel did art nouveau AND art deco in his work. Must have enjoyed the diversity...I certainly do.
