Black Glazed Angular Porcelain Bud Vase with Inky Blue Interior block houses nailed (with nice fat nails)

nailed (with nice fat nails) to the sides of an old block of wood that forms the main body

and then these wonderful hand-painted marching red birds in great dark red

perhaps just for carrying a queen(

but I'm pretty partial to this red cat just as it is

Black Glazed Angular Porcelain Bud Vase with Inky Blue Interior block houses nailed (with nice fat nails)This striking small vase is gorgeous just on its own, but would also makes the perfect vessel for a bunch of violets or lily of the valley or anything cut to shortish stems. The inly blue glazed interior adds a subtle glow to the matte ish black exterior, and makes me think Richard Serra meets Ad Reinhardt at a tabletop scale! 5 3 8" w x 4 3 8" t x 1 1 2"d an d in excellent condition. Unsigned.
