Antique hinged bronze two toned paint patinated pear on a twig with green painted leaves, to keep or collect your little trinkets in.
This used to be called a bed-pear, for putting your jewellery in on your nightstand before going to bed. But evidently they also where often used as ashtray.
The details and the colour of this pear is great, a gold tone pear on elegant detailed green painted leaves.
This would look great in a collection, as you can see I have more of them.
There is a separate listing for the collection of 5 apples and this pear, click on "more from this seller".
But it would look great on its own on your coffee table as well.
I think every stack of coffee table books should have a grounding piece on top.
And of course this would be a great gift.
