Too pretty to resist

6 5/8" in diameter and 2 5/8" tall

I have a hard time wrapping my head around how one would carve a chain from one piece of wood

and I'd believe the ship in a bottle dates very early 20th c

Signed and dated on the backside

Striking Torn Up and Taped Back Together Old Photo of Girl Looking Sideward glass flask with pewter case Too pretty to resistThe stained or perhaps more like shards of shattered glass effect from this photo having been torn up then taped together again I find just stunning. And poignant. And poetic. And making the image feel very much an object and a resilient one at that. And by turns making this young girl feel resilient herself. A whole novel here for sure. 4 7 8" x 3 3 4". As found, tape holding well, just some roughness along the edges.
