Soulful Face Planter in Shiny Brown Glaze, Signed, 1975 cloth measuring tape This early hand-painted snuff boxQuite an expressive and soulful face on this hand sculpted vessel, which I take for a planter, but could certainly function as a vase or a lid less cookie jar! Signed what looks like CM on the underside and dated 1975. He looks both empathetic and empathizing to me, like a poet or perhaps a therapist! This one also with many others today from the estate of an artist in Rockport, MA. 7 1 4" t x 7 5 8" w x 8 1 4" deep. Very good condition.
