Iconic Feeling Antique Tole Painted CAKE Box weaving of forest 7 1/2" long x 3"There's a lot of old toleware out there that does nothing for me, but sometimes a piece hits it exactly, as I think this antique cake box does. In major part it is all about those great stencil painted letters, executed in gray that runs lighter to darker in shade and then with terrific red accents along the bottom edges. In a terrific stylized capital font too, which I think enhances the potency and resonance of the word itself here is a box of CAKE!
