6 7/8" x 4 9/16"

And quite a thing it is: I count nine chip-carved layers (of heavier wood than cigar box wood)

but sure hope it gave some satisfaction to the Frederick Porter who signed it on the floor board of the wallpapered room glimpsed downstairs

I'd use this exquisite cup and saucer on my birthday

Oval, Triangle, Diamond, Set of Three Early Flat Bottom Tin Cutters woven basket 6 7/8" x 4 9/16"I find these quite satisfying. No sign that there were ever handles, and no holes in the flat backs, just the purest sorts of cutters, with the edges of the undersides just barely exceeding the outlines of the shapes. Such that they would make nice vessels for holding some little things now too (say a beautiful stone or two.) But perfect just as minimalist objects. Lovely, and early ones.
