Suda was strongly influenced by both Danish Modern pottery and native Canadian art--influences which I think wonderfully merge in these earthy and strikingly graphic hand-formed candleholders

Sweet Old Czech Rampwalker Dog whittle man 5" wide x 3" deepI've had a number of these old Czech "ramp walkers" characters in the shop, and never grow tired of them. The name refers to the fact that if you place them on a surface at a slight incline, they will walk themselves down it, with significant speed! I've seen a few other dogs, which this one is meant to be, but never one in such great shape, with snout, twine tail, paper arms, and all the paint still well in tact. C. 1930s, and a great walker he is! 4
