Vintage Wooden Color Cubes - Set of 20 animal decoration I picture ivy streaming down

I picture ivy streaming down the sides of this marvelous hand thrown and sculpted stoneware planter as it hangs from a high hook in a plant-filled sunroom

and that cat

I find looking at them closely feels akin to taking a deep breath

I’d guess it dates from the 1960s and the painting itself is in very good condition

Vintage Wooden Color Cubes - Set of 20 animal decoration I picture ivy streaming downIt is amazing how much pleasure and satisfaction on can derive from arranging and re arranging a set of painted wooden blocks! Really, I find these excellent for reducing stress and just great to have on the table, as pretty much any way you arrange them, they look fabulous. I believe these blocks were part of a larger boxed Color Cubes set, but the box is gone and these 20 are what remain. (Plenty of good boxes in the shop, though, to store them in!)
