Child with Pig Tails and Butterfly, Charming c. Late 19th Century Chinese Silk Embroidery Tea Tray pottery signed Jani A great piece to live

A great piece to live with I think

Lid closes tight and flush and comes off easily with just a bit of effort

I really love the darkness and weirdness and existential dilemma feeling of it

and of a just slightly heavier weight

Child with Pig Tails and Butterfly, Charming c. Late 19th Century Chinese Silk Embroidery Tea Tray pottery signed Jani A great piece to liveA lovely and I think very charming antique Chinese silk on silk embroidery here, in original frame under glass made to function as a small tray, though easy to add a hook to the back and hang on the wall. I fell in love with the figure at center, who I take for a child in pig tails, fortuitously framed by flying butterfly, flower, tree and what looks like a peach dangling over head a garden of delights! With metallic thread incorporated here and there
