Mine is approx. 20 " high with approx. diameter of 14".<br />a heavy wire mesh container resting on 3 prongs around the upper diameter of black frame of 8 horizontal metal rings held together by 3 upright metal legs that splay out at the bottom to improve stability .

In a million years, I would never have thought to look in Ann Kerr's Russel Wright book to find the answer to the trashcan question. Nothing I've found on the Internet refers to Galef as "Dick," so I can see how that escaped you too. Funny that we both had access to the ad though didn't know to look at it.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-25862872316275928222011-07-29T00:55:13.712-05:002011-07-29T00:55:13.712-05:00Funny thing Dana.

What I hadn't clued to was the fact, which you just so aptly illustrated here, that he was sometimes referred to as "Dick"...

The seller had listed the designer as "Gunni Mobelfabrik" instead of Gunni Omann. I wonder how many people have told her that "Mobelfabrik" means "furniture factory" in Danish?Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-14244816277049400712011-07-28T06:38:37.576-05:002011-07-28T06:38:37.576-05:00@Mr.Modtomic: Speaking of Jonathan, he really got ...@Mr.Modtomic: Speaking of Jonathan, he really got his bona fides as an expert in an article in Interior Design magazine this month.<br /><br />Check it out: <a href="http://www.interiordesign.net/article/541212-The_Real_McCobb.php" rel="nofollow">the Interior Design article</a>Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-63528676177140835462011-07-28T06:34:35.669-05:002011-07-28T06:34:35.669-05:00@DearHelenHartman: I'd have a hard time dippin...@DearHelenHartman: I'd have a hard time dipping a ladle into that particular piece of serveware too...LOLDana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-29502854578364366062011-07-28T05:45:13.327-05:002011-07-28T05:45:13.327-05:00LOL - don't you always cringe when you see som...LOL - don't you always cringe when you see someone using something vintage for something questionable?

None of us know it all. I'm always learning about new things and learning that some of the stuff I already "knew" was incorrect. I will occasionally give a c-list seller a "heads up" about an item they are selling when they've misidentified it but I always try to be sure they know that they can take my "advice" with a grain of salt cuz I might be full of sh*t!<br /><br />Humility - one of my favorite attributes.Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.com
