i wonder


this little heart shaped number has me thralled. it has no indication of it being a fancy ash tray (no smokers in the house either), i can hang it à l’improviste (for there’s an opening in the back), it is a little small to accomodate finger food (view the coriander leaf for measure). the inside decor however, reminds me of, hm, lungs, green lungs (does it you?), which is a little uncanny for kitchen purposes. of course, function would be nice, else it's enthrallment. i can settle for that too…. more vintage treasures over on sophie’s.

  1. I love it, I'm sure we had something very similar when I was little.

  2. I remember seeing a lovely little something like that hanging on my grandma's wall - not sure if she ever used it in any way... but I do like it anyway!

  3. Maybe they're just leaf veins...large veins...at least leaves don't have arteries. It looks 1950s-ish?
