Nils Thorsson Royal Copenhagen Baca Series Danish Modern Ashtray with Bird Design round box and 5/8's of an inch

and 5/8's of an inch wide

making the vase feel akin to a three-dimensional woodblock print

One of the things I love about this vintage Spanish Damascene pin is that while the delicate gold filagree makes it seem a bit dainty

This wonderful Burmese box is a lovely green with finely detailed flowers and vines incised in silver

The existence in the world of things such as this that exemplify such love and care I find truly heartening
