Hand-Sculpted Small Ceramic Crescent Moon Shaped Face (and Vase!) asian decor The pitcher is watertightI just love this little purple glazed face, shaped like a crescent moon and hollowed out to where it can rest sideways with a bud or two poking out one end. Perhaps more practical would just be to display it on a shelf or to use it as a paperweight; just a sweet and curious little thing. 5 1 2" long x 3 1 2" tall x 2 1 4" deep. Great condition.
