Fine Large Turned Wood Clothespin Herend porcelain man all in the original box

all in the original box

This little hand-thrown and signed earthenware bud vase is just right

framed in a gold painted frame wired on the back for hanging

Through all of these carefully laid bits of wood

allowing one to stay on top of things in wonderfully analog style

Fine Large Turned Wood Clothespin Herend porcelain man all in the original boxThis is the most beautiful clothes pin I think I've ever seen. And it is oversized, making it feel all the more a special object. I'd probably use it on my desk to hold a pile of clippings or drawings together, or it would certainly make for a very elegant way to seal a big bag of potato chips! 7" long x 5 8" wide x 1 2" deep and in excellent condition, with just very light wear. I'd guess it dates to the very early 20th century.
