Nothing fussy about this hand-painted vintage sign
perfect on the kitchen counter
There is a piece of the top layer of wood lost at the bottom left corner as pictured and a little paint loss at upper right
and the addition of a little blue paint would make it disappear
just one link after another
Stunning Little Blue and White Porcelain Bud Vase hand-drawn Nothing fussy about this hand-paintedTo my eye, this little porcelain bud vase is just about a perfect object, only to be made better filled with a few violets, or hellebore, or lily of the valley. Unsigned, I don't know who made it, but it feels very Japanese and very zen. Very thin walled porcelain, with an eggshell sort of texture and very finely incised and painted china blue lines. 3 3 8" widest, 2 1 4" tall and in great condition. A bit of very minor staining around the opening,
