Final week, our founder Amanda Hesser; Food52 GM Jojo Feld; and senior director of merchandising, Jackson Fust; and I descended on Spherical High, Texas, for the bi-annual Spherical High Antiques Truthful—a must-stop for designers like Kelly Wearster and Leanne Ford—to scope out classic treasures we might promote as a part of our ever-growing assortment in our Store.

Over three days, we noticed miles and miles of classic glassware—Amanda has ideas!—wood boards, and cauliflower-ware, the kooky cousin of cabbageware. However even amongst all of the previous issues, we noticed new-to-us delights and traits. Right here’s what we noticed and beloved.

Sardines have been having a second on fashionable dishware, however we had been actually shocked—and brought by—the sheer quantity of plates and platters that starred fish. Jojo picked up a set on the primary day within the Massive Pink Barn, and ever since then, they appeared to swim into our view. At Marburger, we stumbled throughout much more from varied distributors.

Once I noticed my first brass tray with bamboo detailing, I gasped. The shine, the burden of it, and the fragile bamboo define had been all good, and I imagined it housing fragrance bottles on my dresser or taking middle stage the subsequent time I host stoop drinks on my Brooklyn brownstone’s steps. In the end, it was too massive—however then I noticed a a lot smaller one (sadly, too small) at one other sales space.

In my house’s kitchen, the place area is at a premium, single-purpose kitchen instruments are uncommon. And but, we noticed a couple of one-purpose-wonders that we couldn’t resist—the primary being sugar nips, aka tiny silver tongs for breaking off bits of the candy stuff from sugar loaves. (Clearly these had been created in a pre-cube world.) I might additionally see it getting used for salt and pepper on my desk. The second is a bee lure, a vase-like glass with an open backside and reservoir that you simply’d fill with a candy liquid akin to brandy, for instance, mentioned Invoice Borman, the Chicago-based supplier (observe him at @piggy.kitchen) defined to us.
Set it in your out of doors dinner desk to catch bees, and when the get together’s over, pop the cork and allow them to free.
