9218 From western NY, a mid 1800’s large storage bowl in early sky blue over its original chromium yellow paint. It is wonderfully hand turned with a single round foot.

An exquisite compliment to a collection or as a functional centerpiece. Size: 19”L x 18.25”W x 6”D $895.00 Interested, click here. |
