SOLD Intricately Carved Small Bottle Shaped Ball in Cage Whimsy fun bell Why don't you come downA charming small whimsy, and an unusual one as far as I've ever seen, shaped like a bottle I am thinking perhaps made as a toy rattle to emulate a baby bottle, and there's even some darkening to the bottom as if heated over a stove! Skillfully carved with a lovely intricacy to the neck of the bottle and "walls" at either end of the cage, which houses a very roundly caved ball. It will stand on its own on from the opening end but takes a flat surface
