I bought this at the Flea Market on Saturday. The seller knew nothing about it, but he thought it might be very old, and he had me, because I had never seen anything like it before. Is it worth $20.? Well it was to him, and I paid it! &:^) I hope we can find out.
This one is a mystery!!? Is it a vase, a brush holder and painting set, ink well? Is it English, French, or American, or?
It has a bronze, copper, silver finish, but I cleaned off a black water paint, that was covering it. There are no markings.
To me it looks to be for a child's water coloring. With brush holder in back, water holder on the side, and a color blending dish in front. That's just a guess.
Any ideas, clues, information, or comments very welcome! :^)
It looks like the inside of the bottom was coated with a black sealer, thin tar maybe. You can see a few finger prints in it, but it's hard, not tacky.
thanks for stopping by, and giving some love everyone, I appreciate it! :^)
