Container Cutout Escape Escaping Honey Mice Shape Shaped Spoon Sweet Vermin
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of a Victorian Christmas with this charming antique honey pot Christmas card from the 1890s. The card, featuring a whimsical honey pot shape, is adorned with intricate details, from the delicate grey stripes on the pot to the tiny, hand-painted flowers and leaves that adorn its sides. The card's most delightful feature, however, is the escaping mouse, peeking out from the top of the pot with a mischievous grin, as if to suggest that the sweet contents within have become irresistible to the curious vermin. The honey pot's golden spout, complete with a tiny spoon, adds to the card's old-world charm, while the glass-like transparency of the pot allows a glimpse into the warm, golden honey that lies within. The card's intricate cut-out design, with its delicate lines and fine details, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. This sweet and playful Christmas card is a delightful reminder of the simple joys of the holiday season, a time when the magic of Christmas seemed to be found in the smallest of details. The escaping mouse, with its mischievous grin and its irresistible attraction to the honey, adds a touch of whimsy and fun to this beautiful and intricately designed card from the late Victorian era.
