teaandbanjo:vinceaddams:Knitted purse in the shape of a jug, silk with metal beads, France, c. 1830-60. Cooper Hewitt collection.This is a knit thing…made too look like another thing. I wonder how you get your pennies past the gold band? Where can I buy ombre silk for knitting?Judging from the pictures of this one (a modern reproduction) it looks like you just slide the ring off to get it open, and the handle keeps it from getting lost. -- source link
