    Unusual shape. Ugg! Tobacco awful. Phewy. I had no idea smoke from cigarettes or whatever could do that! Even on the bottom. Oh wow - it looks almost art deco. Great job!

    • @CopperCactusDIY
      @CopperCactusDIY  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, the shape definitely sold me on this one, so funky! Yup, I'm hearing a lot of Art Deco comments. Still doing research but it's hard to find much from so long ago on what looks one of a kind. Tobacco smoke will settle into anything that absorbs, like wood, veneer, or compromised finish. It's hard to remove one it's there. But challenge accepted lol. Thanks so much, Susan! 🥰
