Carved Wooden Plaque or Trivet horsehair drafting brush when viewed from the underside

when viewed from the underside

There is some crazing visible in the white glaze of the flower and a bit of bleed of the brown glaze

but it seems to me that anything that consumed such time

which I think adds to its appeal

Carved Wooden Plaque or Trivet horsehair drafting brush when viewed from the undersideI just love the immediacy of this carved wooden plaque, which I would probably mount a hook to the back of and hang on the wall, though it would make a pretty great trivet, too. I can just picture its maker planning out the design and then emphatically carving away. The carving itself is pretty deep and the fine details pretty nicely done I'd say and looking at it now I'm thinking it would be a pretty nice piece to make prints or rubbings from. 8 1 8"
