This exceptional vintage hand hooked pillow proclaims "Good Hunting!" in German,"Waidmanns Heil!". The handwork is amazing! It is one of 2 companion pillows that I recently found in Switzerland, obviously made by the same artist. The colors are still so vibrant! There are few small areas of damage mainly seen on the letters a and n,and a bit of wear on the vintage black cotton velvet under the doe's mouth, and top center. But over all, its in beautiful vintage condition...

This handmade piece enhances the laundering experience, don't you think? Because of its size, I imagine this one was used for her delicates.The scalloped bottom and Wasche (Swiss-German) for Clean, as well as the eyelet holes at the top, are hand embroidered in my favorite Swiss blue floss. The lace insertions are 3" deep.Pockets for the draw string on each side, however I've left it as found with the braid and draw string. Fabulous heavy creamy linen,most likely hand loomed...

I seldom come across these German miniature fences usually used for feather trees at Christmas or as toy fencing.However this one is large enough for the standard tree, as shown with the Swiss green glass tree stand, item #817942! How charming is that? It is very sturdy handmade with hinges so it folds up! One spindle is loose, and one missing. The green paint is original I believe. Not only for Christmas, but wonderful for display all year...

I love the small shell as the sugar bowl handle. As you can tell , in the 3rd photo, the glaze is absent from the very bottom of the footings...
