Pretty excellent

is I believe a late 19th c American printed indigo--which is how I found it

To eye rather a beautiful object too

a little research led me to discover an identical solid sterling silver mouse produced for Cartier by Old Newbury Crafters

Nice Old Folk Art Model Water Tower with Green Roof italian planter Pretty excellentJust a great little piece of tabletop architecture, I'd guess made as part of a pretty elaborate model train set up. I love the watertower as form, minimalist and iconic, and the soft green paint on the pitched roof combined with the white and black really does it for me. 7 1 2" t x 3 7 8" wide and deep. 1920s 40s I'd guess. Some paint as evident, all to the good I think.
