Hand-painted Folding Fan with Two Asian Children on Bridge handloomed I do know it which

I do know it which was founded in 1949 in Tel Aviv and operated there until sometimes in the 1980s

I love the geometric black patterning against the shiny gold

it's a nice size for serving small bites

great for holding tiny things
