The country folk loved their porcelain ware for its unpretentious charm.  Chipped souvenirs pop up at farm auctions and antique dealers inspiring curiosity of the user's former life.  This reproduction once offered a bedside receptacle for cuff links, pocket watches and personal effects as one entered upon nightly repose.  Modern home decorators opt for cranberries or potpourri to encompass the candle. 6½ x 1½"
