Folk Art Painted Treen Cup

You have to admire the very nice Folk art delicately painted on this Pokal. Someone really valued this hand turned Pokal, with a fine turned stem and tiered base, then lovingly painted with colourful leaves and a vine encircling the cup. Folk art was distinctly a 19th century art form. Generally reflecting a cultural life of a local community. The artist would express themselves by adorning their work, or others people work linking to old folklore. Keeping traditions alive for others to tell a story of life once lived. Simply taking a charming turned piece, in to something even more special, with a stroke of the brush.
