Snaps to magnarama for spotting this amazing ebay listing — a big stash of Timo Sarpeneva cookware, unused and in original boxes. I am certainly in love. But, gulp, it’s $3,000 in starting bids to pick up the entire set. According to this biography, Timo Sarpeneva was a Finnish industrial designer most well known for his candlesticks and other glass for the company iittala. But, he also worked with metal, porcelain, wood and textiles. This cookware was designed in 1960 — and you can still get the Sarpeneva cast iron pot, in black, for $265.

This stuff puts my beloved Le Creuset to shame!
What great “lines”!
Thanks for sharing this one Pam. Would not have found it on my own.
