The hand thrown vase is signed at the bottom

All carved from one piece of wood and stained a sort of dark red (making it a perfect valentine

and an additional 8 larger and 4 smaller nails around the perimeter at the bottom

and a number that are truly marbled in color

Delicately Carved Twisting Ball in Cage Whimsy wooden letter holder this one documenting a tulipSuch a delicate, almost dainty little whimsy, with these very thin posts carved very carefully on the diagonal, giving the whole thing a twist. The U shaped loop handle at top would make it an easily one to hang mid air, where it might spiral perpetually. Lovely. 3 1 8" t x 3 4" w and d. Very good condition. A little dust captured in a couple photos, which I will brush off!
