SOLD What is Home Without a Mother, Large Hand-drawn Spencerian Calligraphy vase with glass tube many of them I think

many of them I think as good for adult cocktail parties as kid's birthdays

This is the second solid brass duck of this ilk that I have found

Bottom Left Subject: Breseis kneels at the bedside of the deceased Patroclus

and I think it is the degree to which they take themselves seriously as portraits that I find so appealing

6" x 4" and in very good condition

SOLD What is Home Without a Mother, Large Hand-drawn Spencerian Calligraphy vase with glass tube many of them I thinkCertainly the perfect gift for any mother! Better in person, where one can appreciate the detail, this is all hand done, ink and watercolor on heavyweight paper, late 19th c. I believe. Due to the scale, one actually needs a bit of distance from it to read the message, but much of the beauty and delight is in the details, which somehow seems appropriate in speaking to the nature of a mother! Beautifully done. 21 1 4" x 8 3 4" and in good condition,
