SOLD Intricately Carved Small Bottle Shaped Ball in Cage Whimsy antique child's chair There are some black inkA charming small whimsy, and an unusual one as far as I've ever seen, shaped like a bottle I am thinking perhaps made as a toy rattle to emulate a baby bottle, and there's even some darkening to the bottom as if heated over a stove!

It will stand on its own on from the opening end but takes a flat surface
