tight wire hinges

I love a chunky hand-formed vessel

I have not found another with this sort of double frame all the way around

but I also just love it for its aesthetic value

Set of 19th Century Lowe Brothers Paint Pigments in Blown Glass Jars pick up skticks tight wire hingesComplete and total delight to find these this week in southern Maine, at some point making their way east from Dayton, Ohio. In my experience, antique paint pigment like this is very rare to find, all the more so in the original handblown glass bottles with stoppers and paper labels in near perfect condition. I also love that this set includes not just pigments, but also flaxseed, for making linseed oil, and Zanzibar copal resin, for making varnish.
