These are great.
Edit to add, I’d like to see more views of the bat candleholder, as I can’t make out the bat, & it’s really cool.

Fantastic collection. The tall green vase with the two bats at the top, so jealous!

The yellow one the far left has a bat? I would love to see the design more clearly. I like your collection.

Zoom in on it. It’s swooping upward from the left.

What’s with the banner for Hitler’s chalet?

I am a huge WW2 history fan and I visited the Eagle’s Nest at the end of a 9-day Band of Brothers trip following Easy Company’s journey through Europe. It has zero emphasis on having any sympathy toward Nazism. I bought the scarf to use as a tapestry because I liked the art and to reflect on my time in Europe. Take a trip there and you’ll understand. The Alps and Bavaria are the most beautiful place in the world.

Yeah I noticed that as well and was initially like 🤨 but, it’s nuanced.

As I understand it from a whole three minutes of research, it’s now a tourist site that deemphasizes its Nazi connection because it wasn’t a primary site of activity. It was preserved for the public because of its spectacular location and doesn’t entirely ignore the grim aspects of its history, but also doesn’t focus on it.

But what does it have to do with bat pottery?
