This one is also unusual for its underside

forming a heart shot through with two arrows on one side

holding back a door like a good guardian

sturdy and solid and steady on its feet

Francie Philbrook's Large Red Treen Apple with Horse Roulette small pottery plate This one is also unusualAnother week, another old treen apple, because I love them and because each one is really its own thing, varying in size and age and paint and contents and the life it has led. This one appears to have spent some time in the possession of a young Francie Philbrook, who wrote her name on one of the five gaming chips for the horse roulette game housed inside. It's a fairly early one, and a nice large one, with ball still resting in the roulette spinner.
