Sweet Old Chalkware House Incense Burner bat shaped vessel but to my eye it

but to my eye it is quite beautiful in all of its humility

but I might guess 1940s or so

This perfectly preserved

and I think perhaps crayon technology has improved the richness of the color a bit

all to good in my opinion

Sweet Old Chalkware House Incense Burner bat shaped vessel but to my eye itI love most things house shaped, and really love the detailing on this little chalkware cabin incense burner, with all those incised lines for siding and gridded shingles on the roof. I also really love its function with a hole for a stick of incense inside, and then an open channel up the chimney for the smoke to emerge. And I presume the color on it was in least part accrued from doing just that. A good little thing. 3 3 8" x 2 9 16" x 2 1 4" t and
