Beautiful - Check, Useful - Check


Not since this wonderful find have we seen such an intriguing heart-shaped antique artifact.


Everything about it is charming.


The shape of the bowl with hand etched design reminiscent of  a heart monitor reading.


The stamped handle with twist pattern below.


More, vaguely Scandinavian hand etching on the back, but no maker's mark.


So pretty.

Again we quote the sage William Morris - "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

Both is best.

Lovely Laura. I'm really going for following that philosophy in my new little home. So far it's given me a good guide for keeping things or passing them on.
