Solid Walnut Spinning Toy Top with Copper Detail dramatic vase whose collection included a wealth

whose collection included a wealth of notable mid-century art

and is in very good vintage condition

but pulls apart to reveal the tiny interior nest-like interior basket

it works summer to winter and with everything--I think it would be the perfect piece to wear with jeans and a t-shirt while throwing a pot or with a breezy linen dress to a farm-to-table dinner

Solid Walnut Spinning Toy Top with Copper Detail dramatic vase whose collection included a wealthI just love this solid walnut top as an object; such a beautiful shape! To make it spin, one would just need to wind a string around the wooden peg at top, inside of the copper handle, then hold the copper handle lightly while pulling the string to get it spinning. If this is too much effort, I'd just set it on a shelf or use it as a paperweight, picking it up occasionally, as it feels great in the hand. 4 1 2" tall x 2 3 4" in diameter. Overall good
