Beautiful Form: Antique Cast Iron Dome with Old Paint Traces ohio pottery this one looking as if

this one looking as if trudging very slowly up a long

with the pair of albumen photos on this one capturing a bouquet-like arrangement of seashells and seamoss

or maybe a few wooden spoons

which I wish I could translate

all the better for the surface wear and aging to the board

Beautiful Form: Antique Cast Iron Dome with Old Paint Traces ohio pottery this one looking as ifI presume this antique cast iron half sphere was made to hang straight down via its four perimeter holes. With traces of orange gold paint still holding on, it feels to me as if it might have lived in a holy space, but I really have no idea. Whatever the case, it appears quite old, and I just find the domed form, with scalloped pattern around the edge and fourteen ribs running to the top, just a satisfying thing. 4 7 16" d x 3" t. Very good antique
