is I believe a late 19th c American printed indigo--which is how I found it

revealing it as a vessel as well

Nice Old Folk Art Model Water Tower with Green Roof italian planter a little research led meJust a great little piece of tabletop architecture, I'd guess made as part of a pretty elaborate model train set up. I love the watertower as form, minimalist and iconic, and the soft green paint on the pitched roof combined with the white and black really does it for me. 7 1 2" t x 3 7 8" wide and deep. 1920s 40s I'd guess. Some paint as evident, all to the good I think.
