Pair of Double Sided Whimsy People in Bottles! antique slide lecture box I think of this as

I think of this as a perfect everyday vase to keep on the kitchen counter

The orange beaded face of woman in profile at right

To my eye a super satisfying thing on many levels

which I imagine was custom made for the purpose

An uneven left edge with a little crinkling just along that side and some smudges and age toning

Pair of Double Sided Whimsy People in Bottles! antique slide lecture box I think of this asSuch a fun pair, not especially old, but unlike any I've see before and really wonderfully done. (Plus, how the heck did someone make them?!) I especially love their double sidedness, with different moods personalities expressed on each side, such that one might configure them with different dynamics between them. I might take them for a mother and child with the mother in excellent blue suit and child in red necktie! Great faces, great details,
