Made In Florence, Which Theoretically Places It In The Florentine Category, But A Florentine World That We Have Never Before Seen! Something Apart!
Hand-Drawn In Crayon ... Such Charm ... Bubbling Sink And An Adorable Housewife With An Armload Of Clean Plates And A Colander That She's Carrying Over To A Cupboard ... Bows In Her Hair And A Polka Dot Apron Over A Red Dress ... A Broom Is Propped In the Corner ... A Calendar Hangs On the Wall ... She Has Red Lips And A Frilly Petticoat Peeping Out From Her Dress ... That's The Form, Now For the Function: Five Little Hooks Individually Marked 'Hands", "Dishes", "Pots", "Glasses" And "Coutlery" (sic). Are The Hooks meant For Five Individual Kitchen Towels? It Must Be, Right? Did Italian Women In The 50s Actually Use Different Dish Towels For Different Purposes? Gee Whiz! If you Make Do With Just the One Towel, You Could Still Use this For Your Keys By The Front Door, Or Leashes, Or Whatever! Necklaces Would Work, Too.
*Showing Its Vintage Age, But Still Absolutely Magic. I Would Snatch This Up And Hang It In My Kitchen In Two Seconds! The Varnished Wood Has Hairline Cracks Throughout ... Some Fading ... The Top Edge Has Gone Brown Over The Years ... The Unfinished Wooden Back Has Various Water Splotches And Stains ... The Original Hanging Hardware Was Replaced Many Years Ago With Two Triangular Metal Fixtures For Two Nails ... Retains Its Original Hand-Painted In Florence Sticker ...*
