Tiny landscape scene with soul. This miniature dish features a charming pastoral motif: a cottage with an orange-red roof nestled among stylized trees, with delicate brushwork depicting a pond, grasses, and rolling clouds. Hand-painted details with fine black linework and soft watercolor washes in blues, greens, and yellows. Gold rim accent.
Marked "JAPAN" on the reverse. Likely mid-20th century, from the era when these small decorative dishes were popular travel mementos. The kind of piece that sits beautifully in a small wooden tray or on a shelf—functional as a ring dish or purely decorative.
Light wear consistent with age. No chips or cracks.
A matched pair of cast brass shell dishes in a warm, aged finish. Deep scallop form, satisfying weight, the kind of brass that doesn't look new and is better for it. Perfect as ring dishes, salt cellars, or just objects worth looking at. Use them together or let one wander.
A round ceramic ashtray with a bold graphic ladybug at center — red, white, and black, with tiny green eyes. Clean lines and good glaze. Works just as well as a ring dish or catchall. The kind of small object that makes a side table feel intentional.
