Carved Stone Ladies Boot, 1917 vessel with face 5 3/4" across with handles

5 3/4" across with handles

and that this brush was for cleaning the spokes of an old bike

Each canister measures 5 1/2" in diameter and 2 1/8" tall

The bowl measures 9 1/2” across at widest and 5 1/2” tall

and I will continue to hunt for more of the like as I am completely in love with them
