Happy Couple in their Chairs, Pair of Old Painted Carvings korean My photos aren't great but

My photos aren't great but It should be noted that the graphite on these drawings is a bit faint and so they very much reward close looking

I bought these phials of china paint pigment simply because I thought they were beautiful--I find myself so hungry for color these days

This is an unmatched but closely related pair of Chinese porcelain ‘Kitchen Ming’ dishes

it lays flat

The ring could be removed from the backside by snipping the black thread that holds it

Happy Couple in their Chairs, Pair of Old Painted Carvings korean My photos aren't great butWhat a pair, happy together for a long time already, and I do hope forever! Obviously they were carved by the same person but it appears of two different woods, and decorated with what seems to have been a water based paint, a fair bit of it lost or faded but lots of good color remaining, Great faces, great attituses, and I how the area underneath her chair was outlined but never carved out. Total charmers. Both measure about 4 1 4" t x 7 8" w x 2 1
