We confess it's one of the most magnificent pieces of architectural salvage we stumbled upon. It checks all the boxes of unique, rare, unusual, whimsical and of course quacky. Its beauty is in its simplicity, and surprise application, because you wouldn't think of bringing a child like illustration to such a large decorative building brick. This must have been intended for a specific use and why we believe it's the only one to possibly exist.

It's artistically executed and we believe it's from the Arts & Crafts period (late 19th to early 20th Century); mainly because of the color hue used. This green is very reminiscent of that period. And the deep yellow is equally beautiful and of the period. The colors are not paint but a nice deep glaze.

Circa: Late 19th - Early 20th Century
Condition: Overall good and consistent with age; with some chipping to the bottom edges.
Dimensions: 13" W x 3 1/2" D x 13" H less
