she was carefully and finely made

Beautifully crafted and beautiful still

Dated 1928 I believe and in excellent condition

I think this piece probably dates from the 1990s or so

There is a long tradition of Isleta red ware

Pretty, Old Ball in Cage Carved Whimsy with Scalloped Edges serving ware she was carefully and finelyA pretty refined little ball in cage whimsy, with sort of a scalloping to the walls of the cage, a pointy top, and a slight elevation to the base. Very nicely done, walnut I think, and definitely with a good amount of age to it. It stands up sturdily on its feet, but they were carved slightly unevenly, so in certain positions (not all) it leans a bit one way, a little like the Tower of Pisa, which I personally like:) The ball rolls around freely
