Very Sweet Hand-painted Wooden Block House on Base interesting gift and this single mugI'll never pass on a little wooden folk art house if I can help it, and this is a very sweet one, solid wood, with a nailed on piece for the chimney, and with great hand painted doors and windows and chimney bricks, and a back side at least as good as the front. 1920s 30s or so I believe and in good shape, with one small ding to the wood on the front face at lower right where the window is painted. 5 5 16" w x 4 1 4" d at base; 3 1 2" t.
