Deeply Devoted, Young Woman in Cardigan with Jesus and Wildflowers Vintage Snapsho antique white paint I come across these now

I come across these now and then but I've never seen ones wrapped in gold

this is the sort of vase I'd use all of the time

which I'd guess dates to the mid 19th century or so

based on some research (though not turning up its exact likeness)

There may once have been a few more pieces in this set--they are made of very thin bone--there are 35 here

Deeply Devoted, Young Woman in Cardigan with Jesus and Wildflowers Vintage Snapsho antique white paint I come across these nowNo way could I resist this one two, really, this young woman and the image of Jesus not so much tucked under her arm as actively carried alongside her as a companion! She does appear blissfully content wading through this meadow, perhaps with God himself reminding her to stop and smell, or at least fondle, the flowers. Pretty excellent. 4 1 2" x 2 3 4" and in good condition, with a bit of black paper residue on reverse.
