Trout on Table: Striking c. 1880s Stereoview, Charles E. Smith Vermont danish ceramics They come in the old

They come in the old curdoroy bag in which I found them

He says you have to keep looking at this ship till you get word that he is safe of the sea

I am not entirely sure that these are Jugtown North Carolina pottery

and shows staining around the opening and some crazing to the glazing

but the fabric is pretty well attached and overall this guy is in good and solid shape

Trout on Table: Striking c. 1880s Stereoview, Charles E. Smith Vermont danish ceramics They come in the oldThis is the last of a handful of striking (I think) stereoviews I purchased together that came from one collection, and this may be my favorite of all them. Feels to me one part Dutch still life, one part French Surrealist, and one part magic trick waiting to happen. And just a stunning photograph formally, times two, made even better by the orange perimeter of the card. 7" x 3 7 8". Charles E. Smith, Bristol, VT. c. 1880s I believe. Scattered stains
