Featured Lidded Jar, What did I buy this time?

I can tell you seller is no botanist:

HAND PAINTED TULIPS

 

LOL!

 

@Bronwen It is gorgeous...Nice buy ! Ya done good

 

It's great to have the community's seal of approval. Think if I had not bought it I would have suffered non-buyer's remorse.

 

There is an old saying, that the only things you really regret are those things that you do not buy.

It is a beautiful jar!!

 

It’s Lovely, Bronwen!!!! Hope you relish your ‘Steal’!!!!!!

 

It was more like a gift. But hey, if they're giving it away, I'll be happy to take it.

What do we think about size & shape? Powder jar? Or too large at 5 inches across? I can imagine it with a big down powder puff. I can imagine a whole vanity set. In my dreams.

 

Them tulips are zantedeschia. Mine are rampantly in bloom.

 

Look it all over..........carefully........

It HAS to have the name Bronwen on it somewhere!

What a beauty to add to your already beautiful cameo collection(s).

 

It is stunning, Bronwen, and true Art Nouveau. I applaud you for listening to that devil on your shoulder, in this case he knew best.

 

It is a lovely piece, I sold a vase years ago, for a good price - rarely keep breakables with much value, too clumsy, metal survives so much better in my household...

Yes, it is lovely! And I'm glad the maker was identified so quickly.

 

Calla lilies to the non-Latin speaking world. And ours are glorious right now!

 

Guaranteed, it will be "Fly-by-Night" then!

 

I can't see them without thinking of this:



Actually, I love that set. Iced tea? Mint juleps? If money, space & sense allowed, I'd take it.

 

Much value? Are you telling me I should take very good care of this one? I can't turn up another (maybe INH will) on the Internet. No plans to let it go again any time soon. More for inventory purposes, how should I describe it? Could it be a powder jar? Or just a trinket box? Like so many cameos, she looks to me like she could use a gentle cleaning. Any risk in this?

Cheryl is such a marvel & a treasure for the site. I was expecting the usual bandying around we so often do. And of course I'm tickled with the outcome.

 

Wonder if Rescue Kitty is their first cat. Bet the dog figurines go first.

 

I tend to do botanical names, 'cos popular ones get attributed to multiple species.

 

That is one beautiful box, I would have grabbed that in a heart beat!

 

I nearly lunged at it when I first saw it, but then tried to pretend I was a grownup, making well considered decisions about any new acquisitions. It didn't take much to push me off that perch. Absolutely no regrets, that's for sure.
