Description
6 1/2" (17 cm.) h. A pressed tin jardiniere whose luxury details include double tiers of plant holders and gargoyle-shaped legs is highlighted by a fancily-waved frame that encloses a very rare lithopane of seated young girl in the midst of her favorite play things. When held to the light,the seemingly-all-white lithopane gains dimension and the scene becomes clear. The bottom tier of jardiniere has scalloped edge and the upper tier has filigree rim. Silk plants decorate the jardiniere. Excellent condition,few small paint rubs. Germany,Rock & Graner,circa 1875.
