Blue and White Hand-painted Antique German Stoneware Milk Pitcher folk art picture frame this piece would be perfect

this piece would be perfect on a vanity as a wonderful small storage cabinet for jewelry or other prized treasures

referred to as "dancing dolls

8 1/2" tall x 3 3/4" wide x 3 1/2" deep

The body and head are carved of one piece

I'd put it atop a stack of books on the bookshelf or on a ledge somewhere--a charming reminder to be brave and get after it

Blue and White Hand-painted Antique German Stoneware Milk Pitcher folk art picture frame this piece would be perfectI'm rather obsessed with this old German milk pitcher I love the image of someone painstakingly painting all those rows of little blue triangles, which add up to the most perfectly imperfect surface decoration; just gorgeous. Over the years this pitcher has accumulated a really wonderful patina, too, with a little darkening here and there, which gives it just a fantastic presence and warmth. I can imagine building a whole kitchen even a whole cottage!
