Executed in a Japanese-influenced art nouveau style

I don't think this coffee pot has ever been used

I love the silhouette and interplay of parts on this one

Oaxacan Black Clay (Barro Negro) Vintage Fish Whistle old vice Another lovely brushI'm a big fan of sculptural whistles, and think this is a pretty great one. Handmade in Oaxaca, Mexico of black clay it features incised details for eyes, scales, fins, and a sort of a sun pattern at the center of each side. And it makes a great whistle by blowing into the large hole on its side near the tail, with the hole at the end of the fin functioning as a modifier for the pitch. 7" long x 4" wide x 2 1 2" tall and in great vintage condition.
