Mid-century I believe

"Too much loquacity discovers weak understanding"

9 3/4" tall with handle

which I think is just there to keep it tight in absence of a washer

but otherwise she's in very good shape and very sturdy

Tiger Irises Watercolor/Gouache Painting on Board, c 1910s-20s advertising sewing kit Mid-century I believeThis old painting I believe does full and complete justice to the Tiger Iris (Tigridia lilacea, native to Central America) quite a stunner. And I think it's become all the better with age, with the cream of the board showing stains here and there, adding to its aura of sorts. To my eye, quite a satisfying thing, which I think I'd just prop somewhere as is, perhaps to keep company with some potted orchids and tropical plants! 12 1 4" x 8". Good overall
