History: The object carries the charm of handcraft with its whimsical painted decoration and balanced proportions. While not signed by a studio or artist, the piece typifies mid-century decorative folkware—produced in cottage industries and often sold as souvenirs or market goods. The numbered base may have been part of a numbered production run, which was common in small workshop series. The use of vibrant red atop the lid and base edge evokes a cheerful contrast, enhancing its visual appeal. The surface wear and crackling also add authenticity to its aged character.
 
Flaws: some age related wear on the paint
