Satisfying Old Black and Red Painted Finial China I have to think itI've been paying attention to old finials lately, which I am finding pretty satisfying little tabletop sculptures, this one a case in point. Great silhouette, wonderful matte red and black paint, perfectly imperfect. 4 1 8" t x 2 1 4" in diameter and in great shape, stands straight and study on its base.
