Satisfying and Sturdy Old Handmade Hinged Box in Green Paint plate with flowers when Houle's Pharmacy at 462

when Houle's Pharmacy at 462 Moody Street in Lowell

I really have no idea of its age but it definitely has some

I have not taken it apart but it appears to me that it was done on the inside cover of an old school geography book

I really love the colors on Persian Qajar era pottery--super lush

1900--extra large and extra fine turned and hand-painted wood apple

Satisfying and Sturdy Old Handmade Hinged Box in Green Paint plate with flowers when Houle's Pharmacy at 462Not fancy, but I really love this box, for its old soft green and dark green paint, and more inside, and for its unfussy form, with platform base, which makes it feel meant to be planted somewhere and routinely open and shut. I sort of want to see it filled with gleaming white chalk carefully stacked, to deliver delight with every lid lift, but perhaps more practically used for pens and pencils, which fit perfectly in it, or whatever. 7 5 8" l x 4 1
