Cheerful Old Stuffed Cotton Piecework Ball 19th century landscape Play just like dominoes

Play just like dominoes

The plate has one small crack near the center

but none as striking and unusual as this one

I believe there is an incised initial/mark on the underside

but is almost if not entirely complete

Cheerful Old Stuffed Cotton Piecework Ball 19th century landscape Play just like dominoesThis ball just appeals to me as a cheerful thing, which could function as a large pin cushion, or just a ball to throw or roll around, or an colorful object to set somewhere, perhaps one amid a stack or pile of others. Good weight cotton fabric held together with white thread and, happily, not quite round! 6 diameter x 4 1 4 t and in good shape, with a few stains toning vision on the white of the striped fabric. Tight seams and fully stuffed.
