Two Linked Balls in Cage Carved Pine Whimsy flower vase and researching them enough toThis is one of a a number of old pine carved whimsies I purchased together and believe were all made by one American carver, first half of the 20th century I believe. Skillfully done but chunky in form, with a great warm patina to the dry wood, and all carved from one piece of wood with no notable chips, cracks or splits. Very nice. 6 7 8" long x 1 3 8" wide x 1" deep. Cages each measure about 3 1 8" t.
