I wonder if they painted a greeting card. That's about the size of a watercolor card blank.
Ooh pretty x 2! Hope the flea dealer was asleep at the switch. Swap Shop here means everything is free, and that's always a good price. AAMOF...
Might be worth watching if the seller is as clueless with values as he is with mythology!
The Italians make 14k for export to us dumb 'Murricans, but it's generally marked better. I'd call the design late 70s geometric modernist. It's...
late 80s or later from the look of it. No idea whodunnit.

Well of course! My last cat didn't do laps unless she really, really wanted something, and then she'd only stand on my lap and not sit on it. A...
I found my BiL an olive oil bottle holder last year. Happy bunny. Keep looking; the right thing is hiding somewhere.
You and me both, kid. I wish I could still walk like I could back then. Lift too. The rest...nahh. Except maybe the hair.
I've seen both, including on the same piece. The old stuff has the affixed script mark. If this is new, who knows....
It looks more like a griffin than a dragon, but use both words if you have room. I'd test the head of the stick pin, if not the whole thing, for...
Two couch potatoes, coming up!
