this is the .99c bowl I got at the charity shop
it remeinded me of the russian
palekh
boxes
I have one
for sure and
maybe
a second one
but this makes a nice little collection
of look a likes
if not
likes!!!
it is papier mache
decoupaged
for sure
and considering it was on the shelves of a charity shop
in really good condition
I was thrilled to find it
I snatched it up so quickly
there was a sonic boom
that visit was the best one yet
:)
That is a beautiful bowl. Definitely one I would pick up too. Hope all is well with you. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteI feel pretty sure that's an Indian papier mache bowl, probably from the Kashmir Valley. That paisley design was brought over from England when the Moslems moved into India. It was a steal at 99 cents, because if it's got any age, it's worth a lot more than that, but it's so beautiful! Well done....
