This little urn (11 cms or 4 and 1/2 inches) was purchased in an antique mall in Arlington, Texas in 2008. The metal bands had been glued on, so I put the whole thing in my oven to heat and melt the glue. I then painted the cherries and the background, applied the paste, ground laid the base and lid, applied roman gold to the knob, paste and neck of the base, and then re-glued the metal bands back on. I loved every moment of painting it!This little urn is also a nice reminder of a pleasant day out.
