Only Be Yourself

I spotted this green ceramic in a thrift shop and it was immediately in my basket. What drew me to this was the flat top on the handle that was so distinctive, I didn't have another one like it. Since then, I have painted it numerous times. I love the variety of shapes, angles and the lovely green glaze. Perfect small size for a shelf, tabletop or right in amongst a gallery wall.
Only Be Yourself is protected with a coat of Gamblin gloss varnish.
Arrives to you already framed in Oak, ready to hang.
Comes with a certificate of authenticity, also signature to the front of the canvas.
