One of them--GDA--based in Limoges

This piece is emblematic of his work--beautifully crafted

a lot of them actually made by women in internment camps during WWII

This is one pretty special little pig

Green and Red Painted Wonderful Old Wooden Toy Row Boat man with horn One of them--GDA--based in LimogesI'd guess that this wonderful old wooden toy row boat has seen some pools and ponds; perhaps the oars, which I'd guess were one affixed to the sides, were lost at sea! I love it now for all of its scuffs and wear, which I think only enhance the gorgeous green and red paint of the exterior, and creamy white inside the boat. Just a marvelous tabletop or windowsill object, which at least for me feels quite romantic and inspires a longing for adventure. 8
