1870s Seamoss and Seashells Stereoview vintage clay ocarina I have seen a few

I have seen a few other San Pacific ceramic vases from the 70s-80s

and the interior is lined in birch bark as well

which perhaps is the universe telling me (or the collective us) something

and with really terrifically weathered painted surface

1870s Seamoss and Seashells Stereoview vintage clay ocarina I have seen a fewAnother week, another lovely stereoview, with the pair of albumen photos on this one capturing a bouquet like arrangement of seashells and seamoss. I can't look at it without thinking of pressed sea moss albums, linked both to the Victorian obsession with the wonders of the natural world and to the liberation of young women from the confines of the parlor! Lovely and delicate feeling. 7" x 3 3 8", good condition, with perfect matte yellow mat. C.
