Loon, Charming Old Bird Lover's Watercolor antique birch snuff box and the head comes off

and the head comes off

which one has to look closely to notice

The body of this slip cast stoneware low vase or smallish planter (perfect for an orchid or forced bulbs) is glazed a mottled light brown

Loon, Charming Old Bird Lover's Watercolor antique birch snuff box and the head comes offA few more this week from a larger set of wonderful old naive watercolors birds, done by someone long ago who clearly loved their birds. With carefully handwritten in capital letters attributions on each that I think makes them extra good. And how to beat the grace of a Loon, here with this marvelous patterning in very black ink. Lovely. 7" x 5" and in very good condition.
