out of an artist's studio at a recent estate sale just because I loved the look of it

With radiant

deeply incised Art Nouveau inspired decoration around its in neck and shoulders in shades of copper

notable for the painted tips of their handles

Colorful Geometric Vintage SIFO Puzzle royal copenhagen out of an artist's studioI always have an eye out for vintage teaching toys and games with great graphics allowing them to double as design objects, pleasuring kids and adults alike. This vintage SIFO puzzle is definitely one, and the only I've seen like it. 1960s or 70s I believe, and happy solvable two ways one with the geometric shapes matching their backgrounds and the other creating excellent color juxtapositions. Used for sure, with a little paint loss, scuffing, etc.
