Along the left edges of the backsides are button closures

but overall the two issues are in good condition and really quite remarkable things

This stoneware vase was hand thrown then pressed on four sides to give it a faceted yet still very organic form

I have found one other Arts & Crafts copper watering can with a silhouette like this one's

Fine Large Turned Wood Clothespin beautiful Japanese lacquer box having sold my first batchThis is the most beautiful clothes pin I think I've ever seen. And it is oversized, making it feel all the more a special object. I'd probably use it on my desk to hold a pile of clippings or drawings together, or it would certainly make for a very elegant way to seal a big bag of potato chips! 7" long x 5 8" wide x 1 2" deep and in excellent condition, with just very light wear. I'd guess it dates to the very early 20th century.
