Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Mid-Century Teak Lattice Tray or Trivet dan weaver pottery This mid-century leather piggy bank

This mid-century leather piggy bank closes up with lock and key

the lambs looking forward left and right

I especially love the carving marks on the round sides of the ball

so romantic

and really love the specificity of its intent: to accommodate a full set of twelve utensils

Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Mid-Century Teak Lattice Tray or Trivet dan weaver pottery This mid-century leather piggy bankThis teak tray, or large trivet, is unmarked from what I can tell, but I am pretty certain it is Jens Quistgaard for Dansk, and a pretty iconic one. I have not touched the teak, which does show some surface wear, but as this is quite a useful piece long enough to serve as trivet for a few dishes at the center of the table, or great for serving cocktail hour snacks I'd consider it just broken in and add a bunch more wear to it promptly. 15 1 4" l x 6 7
