Satisfying Little Thin Walled Tiered Ball in Cage Whimsy marketing and based on others I

and based on others I have had would think first half of the 19th century

but perhaps also to elongated two-toned green form that centers the abstract composition

to arrange in a diamond formation then roll this yellow ball at

but also the secular aspects of tea and Japanese life

Satisfying Little Thin Walled Tiered Ball in Cage Whimsy marketing and based on others I(Sorry, I forgot to shoot individually; it is the unpainted small one in group shots!) Not an especially old one, but I really love the tiered geometry of this little whimsy, looking kind of like a chair with a roof. Good from every angle and really nice as part of a grouping with a few other linear sorts of things. Approx 4 1 2" t x 1 1 4" wide x 1" deep. Good vintage condition.
