I'm yet to own a precious piece of Jonathan Adler's modernist animal ceramics (one day, one day I shall start my collection) but his holiday collection of animal tree ornaments isn't a bad place to start.
Each unglazed white decoration starts at US$24, and is beautifully presented in a blue gift box, making them fantastic presents for those few people on your list who have left you stumped. As well as the squirrel, dachsund and cat (above), there's also a hippo, owl, elephant, poodle and seahorse.
I'm also loving the new pop menagerie ornament collection (see below), featuring a lovely lion with bright splashes of geometric colour, stylised peacock with golden swirls and an elephant adorned with a turquoise paisley design. Each glossy white piece comes in an utterly gorgeous matching gift box and is priced at US$28.
Love a Jonathan bit of animal menagerie. I'm the proud owner of a turtle (complete with detachable shell) and have also bought ornaments for others before (they were on sale last year for $12 USD!) I'm eyeing up the squirrel and dachshund now!

Wow, I'm going to keep an eye out for a possible sale! Thanks for the heads-up! xx

I have yet to start my own Jonathan Adler collection too. Tee hee hee.
I've been tempted (doesn't help that I walk by Outre's shop window so often) but you know how it is with us hoarding-type, once we start, we cannot stop.
If I do, the first piece would have to be a sausage dog! xx
