Pair of Vintage Wire Hand-Shaped Glove Dryers fat round vase while the interior is glazedThese old wire glove dryers have taken on new resonance at the moment, as we are all washing our hands every five minutes. I love the shape of the middle fingers on these, and the remnants of old green paint (a bit hard to see in photos.) And especially nice I think is that the hooks that were once attached to the ends have been removed, such that one can mount these perpendicular to the wall, extending as if offering two hands to shake! Very good
