Hand-Painted Watercolor Postcard Of Grapes (or Olives?) wooden spice bowl with some small scattered scratches

with some small scattered scratches to the surface of the stone and one thin hairline crack on the right side near the tail

Joined by nails at corners and bottom and structurally super sound

mid-1800s I believe

These relief elements are amplified by a sort of a bronze finish

In the interim

Hand-Painted Watercolor Postcard Of Grapes (or Olives?) wooden spice bowl with some small scattered scratchesAt first I thought this lovely hand painted postcard depicted a bunch of green olives still on the branch, but now the structure of the leaves makes me think they may be grapes. Either way, a really lovely little watercolor (or perhaps gouache) painting of a sumptuous little bounty! 3 1 2" x 5 1 2", with richly saturated color on a warm cream stock. British and early 20th century I believe.
