Acorns and Oak Leaves: Scarce and Stunning Large 19th Century American Architectural Terra Cotta Brick caddy used for storing and carryingThrilled to find this beauty in my neck of the woods this week, just stunning. I found one very very similar brick of just slightly smaller scale out there, sold by a dealer more knowledgeable about architectural brick than I am, who had salvaged three of them, sold out at $400 each. Beautiful condition, beautifully aged surface, 2nd half 19th century American, with acorns and oak leaves and an oak blossom at center. 8 1 8" x 8 1 8" x 2 1 4".
