Lovely 19th Century Miniature Hand Mirror 1930s matte green vase With nice age to it

With nice age to it

I do sometimes think I should devote myself entirely to searching for beautiful blocks and related objects of creative play--so many good things rolled up into them

" published in 1919--which would suggest this drawing likely dates to right around the turn of the century

Pretty rough condition

it was executed on a large sheet of gridded paper in what appears to be gouache though perhaps some combination of paint and marker

Lovely 19th Century Miniature Hand Mirror 1930s matte green vase With nice age to itI've often admired these little antique doll scale, shaker style hand mirrors, but this is the first of them I've had a pretty little thing, with a hole for threading and hanging from the handle, perhaps to add to a wall, or hall, of many mirrors or to hang above the cat bowl to enable a bit of preening! 6 3 4" x 2 1 2" and in good condition, with light general wear and some spotting to the mirror, all to the good I think.
