Badger Hair Paint Brush coiled straw basket with just a tiny bit

with just a tiny bit of loss of white paint in a couple of spots that just adds to its charm

This is a really lovely pair of handmade wooden utensils

and cross-hatching at either end

There is some some wear and cracking to the interior lacquer particularly on the underside of the lid

Badger Hair Paint Brush coiled straw basket with just a tiny bitI found this beautiful badger hair brush at the estate sale of an artist who had a gorgeous studio stocked with highest quality supplies for work in most every medium.

I'd love to see this one put to good use, but would myself just be happy
