Round Painter / Duster Brush with Turned, Threaded Handle and Dark Horsehair Bristles figures I find this tall

I find this tall

4 1/2" diameter and 4 1/4" tall with lid and in excellent condition

though it is so distinctive and beautifully decorated I think I'd be more inclined to treat it as a design object than to drink out of it--I  might put it to use as a small planter

it's a great object just for display

Based on several other watercolors by the same artist

Round Painter / Duster Brush with Turned, Threaded Handle and Dark Horsehair Bristles figures I find this tallAnother wonderful old painter duster brush, with a turned wooden handle that screws off, and mostly dark, coarse horsehair bristles (with just a few lighter mixed in). The surface of the blonde wood shows some wear, giving this brush a nice warm patina. Lovely! The brush measures 11 3 8" long with a diameter of 2 3 4".
