framed in just the right old cream-painted wooden frame

many batches of home-baked cookies

The polychrome color on this one has similarly faded with age

Rainbow Pottery North Carolina 1930s Orange Double Handled Large "Apothecary Jar" Vase miniature nativity framed in just the rightI love a burnt orange pot, especially an old one from North Carolina, and I think this is a real beauty, with quite a presence.
