Description
Hand-painted Cat & Dog Stone Paperweight | Signed H.L. Thompson
A romantic sentiment and a sweetly painted cat and dog pair grace a carefully selected riverbed pebble to make an attractive and useful paperweight. This is a wonderfully tactile, smoothly rounded natural stone that fits pleasingly into the palm of the hand; it is hefty enough to make a very effective paperweight, but also makes for a charming decorative piece. It dates most likely to the late twentieth century.
Love always believes the best of you
