Violin/Cello Wall Pocket or Vase
Violin/Cello Wall Pocket or Vase
This is a fun set. These violins/cellos have a hole on the back to wall hang or they can sit as a vase though the bases are a bit narrow. They are a flashy combination of a periwinkle blue and bright gold; classic 1950s colors.
I believe these are meant to be a matched set but they aren't exactly the same. There is a slight difference in height but it is only noticeable if they are right next to each other and one has a blue bottom while the other's bottom does not have blue glaze on it. Neither piece displays a maker's mark.
Both are in good vintage condition. There is a little age related wear to the gold and one has a slight manufacturing defect. Please note that the picture of the single one has what looks to be a white spot/chip on it; this is only a reflection of light. Neither piece has any cracks or chips other than that small manufacturing defect. Please review all the pictures to see this for yourself.
These are vintage items which have a rich history. While I do my best to provide an accurate description, please closely review the photos to admire this item and review its unique history and idiosyncrasies.
