Clay Red Bananas! box side maybe in a little egg

maybe in a little egg cup or old wooden goblet

I’m always on the hunt for old handmade measuring sticks of various sorts

Finding these was for me total delight

which appears in many different forms

at the ready to draw patterns when inspiration strikes

Clay Red Bananas! box side maybe in a little eggI believe these red bananas are likely Central of South American in origin where red bananas are grown, and where as I understand it the juice of them is considered an aphrodesiac! These do have quite a sexy sort of fecundity about them, I'd say, and they seem to me to make a pretty fabulous tabletop sculpture or component of a dramatic centerpiece. I'd guess mid century or so, maybe a little earlier, and pretty excellent from every angle. 10" x 6 3
