Child with Pig Tails and Butterfly, Charming c. Late 19th Century Chinese Silk Embroidery Tea Tray pottery signed Jani It is signed 683 Italy

It is signed 683 Italy in yellow-orange on the bottom

I really love the darkness and weirdness and existential dilemma feeling of it

looking as if luxuriating in a favorite spot

There are holes at the feet which could be used for mounting it somewhere if desired

A great piece to live with I think

Child with Pig Tails and Butterfly, Charming c. Late 19th Century Chinese Silk Embroidery Tea Tray pottery signed Jani It is signed 683 ItalyA lovely and I think very charming antique Chinese silk on silk embroidery here, in original frame under glass made to function as a small tray, though easy to add a hook to the back and hang on the wall. I fell in love with the figure at center, who I take for a child in pig tails, fortuitously framed by flying butterfly, flower, tree and what looks like a peach dangling over head a garden of delights! With metallic thread incorporated here and there
