Empty and Forlorn Feeling Heavy Glass Washington Monument Globe cutout handle On one hand quite elegant

On one hand quite elegant

with the box glazed in bright white and the flat lid in grays and yellow feeling very late 50s modernist abstraction

Further decorative soldering (I believe this would be the right word) at every corner of the house and chimney and roof

and for me super evocative

Box measures 5 1/4”l  x 1 1/2”w x  1 1/4" t”

Empty and Forlorn Feeling Heavy Glass Washington Monument Globe cutout handle On one hand quite elegantKind of silly, but also kind of poignant, and I can't help but to gather little things that feel as if they encapsulate the current moment when I come across them. So here a rather lonely feeling little Washington Monument, nothing else around it to mitigate its phallicness, but also appearing a bit curved slumped through the very thick glass of the globe. No snow, no liquid, just obelisk, with some chippy paint around the base. 4" t, 2 9 16" d at
