Wonderful Small, Early 19th C. Folk Art Watercolor of Houses on Hill wooden spoon with heart I loved finding a bag

I loved finding a bag filled with these and more (listed as a second set) this week in New Hampshire—clearly pro-actively collected by someone over a good number of years

he worked as a potter in the United States for most of his career

the backside of which I love as much as for the front

3 1/4" across at base

I believe these would be called “Double Happiness” domino cards

Wonderful Small, Early 19th C. Folk Art Watercolor of Houses on Hill wooden spoon with heart I loved finding a bagI was quite surprised and delighted to find this one when rummaging through a box of odds and ends at a not especially fine shop about 30 minutes from home the other day, but wonders never cease! It is a small one, but definitely an early one, c. 1820s 30s I believe, and I'd bet painted of a village not far from here. Great color, iconic New England, and based on how it was trimmed I'm sure it once lived in a miniature type frame with round opening,
