FROM UNCLE VINNY was my mother’s creation. Since I was a child, she would give extra presents to family on holidays, things that she found at thrift stores and garage sales. These gifts were handpicked for the recipient, and we always enjoyed opening them. She would sign the tag from “Uncle Vinny”, after St. Vincent de Paul’s endearing nickname, St. Vinny’s. Uncle Vinny performed his gift-giving duties under my mother’s tutelage for 50 years. Some relatives have known his presence all their lives: one cousin grew up without ever learning the truth behind our second Santa Claus, and she reached adulthood believing that we had some strange, distant uncle who sent us used presents! Today, my family still occasionally takes up Uncle Vinny’s mantle, bestowing thrifted gifts to each other in his name. I carry on the tradition in my own way, reselling vintage treasures I find at the same places mom and I used to shop together. Uncle Vinny lives on. I hope Uncle Vinny has the perfect gift here for you!

Karl Ens was a German potter renowned for his exquisite porcelain creations. Born on November 8, 1867 in Volkstedt, Thuringia in Germany, Ens developed a passion for pottery from a young age. He honed his skills under the guidance of his father, Eduard Ens, who was also a respected potter. Ens embraced the Art Nouveau style that was prominent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His porcelain pieces often featured flowing lines, vibrant colors, and intricate detailing, reflecting the natural world and its creatures. The attention to detail and the lifelike quality of his animal figurines set Ens apart from his contemporaries. Karl Ens continued to lead his porcelain factory until his death on February 5, 1940.
