with two tones of red triangles against faded blue linen
It came from the collection of artist Richard Fleischner
did not realize that Royal Haeger made some pretty great ceramics in the 1960s and 70s with terrific fat lava glazes
and a black stripe down the back--perfectly complemented by the silver-gray of the angular tin fins
I might fit it with bandaids and find it a special place in the bathroom
Bluebirds Over Heart Inside Garland, 19th C. Watercolor with Embossed Gold Foil Diecuts wood block with two tones of redA lovely, happy thing, surely made as a token of love or friendship, with this pair of crossed bluebirds over blue heart suggesting a very "true blue" bond. And then an embossed foil die cut that looks to me like a boy pouring oil into a lantern, so, one presumes, to keep the flame forever burning. And a harp and horns, too! All wrapped up in a watercolored flowering garland. True love forever, so nice. Framed, as found, in a period frame. 3rd quarter
