mines & flowers

[sudelmuk]

mines and flowers together normally are a no-go, but there are some exceptions.



this Glasmine 43 has survived the war (as many, many others too) and was used as a vase for small flowers or a flower-pot respectively. the glass itself is in a top-condition and shows a rare manufacturers mark (barely visible: + in a circle), the painting is rather sensitive - careful to handle.



this S.Mi.42 obviously meantime served as a kind of jewellery box. unfortunetaly someone has tried to remove the floral pattern or the painting was not very resistant.



this beauty was sold on egun two years ago (not to me :tinysmile_cry_t4. a very beautiful example for post-war 'trench art', I think.

Very interesting objects Peter, I like them all.

Too bad you did not get the tellermine for your collection. :tinysmile_angry_t:
Maybe it will come up for sale sometime again, and then you can get it.

I remember that Teller, myself bid on, but ended very expensive. Apart of the "Art Dec" it was near mint condition.
