Quite a character

I love the thought of this postcard being sent as a means of communicating new findings about this particular species

mended carefully on the back with clear tape

or stashing away foreign currency for future travel

as a means for girls to earn "respectable" income--I'd guess this one was made by a girl of the lower classes

Loving Couple on Bench, Unsigned Vintage Clay Sculpture vintage orange Quite a characterThese two! A perfect valentine of a sculpture if I ever saw one, but really just a great thing. Wonderfully modeled, with faces facing, arms crossing, and legs flirting, and with fabulously painterly glazing from their drippy blue features to their green and brown and blue outfits. With incised detailing for buttons, belts and laces in the shoes, and small sculpted breasts on the figure at left, while I think the one at right rather transcends gender.
