You could also be on the lookout for an appropriate diameter sterling silver lid. Actually even a silverplated lid could work. Plenty of those...
I’ve had her before…painted on a plate, or box, or maybe just a small painting or print. I can’t recall which. She’s a popular gal though, often...
Could also be a small gentleman’s curiosity cabinet. For all his little artifacts and valuables. I have one with shelves rather than drawers. I...
Interesting! Maybe just semi modern experimentation by the weaver. “I wonder what would happen if I did this instead of this” type thing. It’s not...
I snorted at two of the replies here. Well done! I’ve got more baskets than I have basket knowledge. My first thought was “that’s strange”. No...
Thanks 2many! I didn’t see it on eBay, on a social media marketplace rather. I was dubious of the attribution, which is why I posted here. The...

If my learning to pronounce their names properly would honor them even though the names would never actually pass my lips aloud I suppose it would...
That does appear to be what it “is”. The Smythe crests I can find with this decapitated leopard imagery seem to only show a solo leopard, no...
