Soapstone Lidded Box with Ice Fishing Figure agate and gold On the sides of each

On the sides of each are a brown spotted stag

A perfect little vase for the bedside table or powder room - so pretty

or spread across the surface of a mid-century credenza

together with the way they are cut to different lengths and lined up perfectly side by side

Soapstone Lidded Box with Ice Fishing Figure agate and gold On the sides of eachThe lid of this charming soapstone trinket box, signed Siku, features a figure ice fishing. His or her parka and boots, and the ice below, are rendered in brown polished stone, while the details of hood, cuffs and fishing line are etched into exposed grey stone. I like the connection between the figure mining for fish hidden below the surface of the ice and the box itself as a place where treasures are concealed and kept safe. 3 1 8" diameter x 2
