Painted Cutout Butterly with Fine Antennae! pottery vase The lid comes off and

The lid comes off and closes tight

with some smudges and stains that I think only enhance its moody underwater feel

visible image size would be 6 5/8" x 4 1/2"

I see them as just gorgeous sculptural objects

Painted Cutout Butterly with Fine Antennae! pottery vase The lid comes off andQuite an exhuberant butterly, and it seems fairly old one judging from the back, hand painted on laid paper, with very finely cut out antennae! Perhaps it lost one tiny one along the way, but who cares, a lovely, painterly thing which also feels quite symbolic! 7 7 16 wing span x 4 1 8 t, very good condition.
