Pottery Lion with Great Mane Murano glass Hollywood Regency

Hollywood Regency

This wonderful Burmese box is a lovely green with finely detailed flowers and vines incised in silver

but it bears a strong resemblance to many antique Turkish embroidered textiles I have found

Terrific for flowers

Pottery Lion with Great Mane Murano glass Hollywood RegencyI love this little clay lion, from whiskers to tail. I purchased him from a fellow vendor at the Essex Exchange who is an artist and eclectic collector, and who taught for many years at Monserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. He is heavy, charming from every angle, great on a desk as as a paperweight or perched atop a pile of books or magazines. Great condition; 4. 5" tall x 3. 5" wide x 4" long.
